Angelina Monell, LMHC, LCPC

Angelina Monell helps people who are facing big life changes, relationship stress, or ongoing anxiety. She focuses on practical steps that reduce stress and make daily life feel more manageable. Angelina is based in New York and brings 13 years of experience to her work as a licensed mental health counselor and licensed clinical professional counselor. She meets people where they are and listens first to understand their priorities. Sessions often start with immediate concerns like sleep, worry, or family tension, then build short-term tools that can be used between meetings. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Angelina draws on several ways of working to fit different situations. She uses Client-Centered methods to follow what matters most to the person, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Mindfulness Therapy to build calm and focus. Motivational Interviewing and Psychodynamic ideas also appear when they help clients move forward. Her focus areas include stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family issues, and coping with life changes. She also works with concerns such as aging and geriatric issues, blended family challenges, workplace stress, seasonal affective disorder, and matters related to pregnancy and childbirth. Veteran and Armed Forces issues are listed among her areas of focus. People who start with Angelina can expect straightforward, practical conversations and personalized plans. To begin, a matching process helps connect someone to a scheduling option that fits their life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding what matters most to the person and following their priorities in each session; online it means conversations shaped by the client's immediate goals and concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain stress or anxiety and gives concrete experiments and exercises to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, useful when stress feels overwhelming.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on what the client reports over time.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let a person practice tools in the settings where they actually live and work, so progress carries over into daily routines.
