About Monica
Monica Sosa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Mexico. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, or struggles with self esteem. Her manner is warm and easy-going and she aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable.
Monica draws on eight years of clinical experience and a background in family studies and social work. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy, and adapts her approach to match each person's needs. That might mean focusing on practical coping skills one week and looking at painful past events in another session.
Her work often addresses complex trauma, grief and loss, substance use, anger, and family conflict. She also supports people dealing with mood disorders, ADHD, and challenges related to adoption and foster care. Conversations tend to be straightforward, with attention to building tools that fit everyday life.
Monica often integrates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing when those methods seem helpful. She also brings ideas from positive parenting and attachment-focused thinking when family and parenting concerns are part of the work.
Monica emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. She encourages people to take small steps toward clearer thinking and better emotional balance, and supports clients as they try new ways of relating and coping.
