About
As a veteran, I offer a deeply personal understanding that helps me create a safe, supportive space, fostering connection and understanding.
Welcome! I am Monika Parker, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and National Certified Counselor in Texas, who is currently being supervised by Adam Dueber LPC-S. I earned my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University. I invite Military & Veterans, military families, adolescents and adults.
My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT and a person centered approach. We will focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel safe, connected, and free to show up as your authentic self while creating space for reflection, healing, and growth.
I aim to champion holistic mental health and walk alongside individuals as they navigate their journey toward self-understanding and fulfillment. What drives my work is witnessing the transformation that happens when clients move from moments of vulnerability to a place of confidence, clarity, and empowerment.

As an individual with personal experiences of grief and trauma, I understand the necessity for a deep sense of empathy, understanding, and compassion in my work with each client.
I am a therapist, who is being supervised by Christopher Hansen LPC-S, with a B.A. in Psychology from Texas A&M University and an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio. My professional journey began in the nonprofit sector, where I recognized a gap in access to quality mental health care and was inspired to further my education to better serve those in need. I work with older adolescents, young adults, and individuals in later adulthood navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and other concerns. I strive to help each person feel understood while we work together toward personal growth.
My approach is tailored to each client's unique needs. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), person-centered, and trauma-focused approaches to provide care that's responsive. I believe meaningful progress happens within a collaborative relationship and creates lasting change that feels aligned with your goals.
I know how much courage it takes to open up and begin this process. I also know how important it is to feel genuinely seen, heard, and met with empathy. You deserve that kind of space. Therapy can be a powerful opportunity to create meaningful change in your life, and you don't have to do it alone. When you're ready, we can take that first step together.

My go to approach for helping people in anxiety therapy is cognitive behavioral therapy. I enjoy CBT because you are able to work with reducing the negative thoughts and expectations we have.
I teach the following tools in anxiety therapy: Coping skills, ladder hierarchy, irrational thoughts, grounding, cognitive distortions.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in anxiety therapy when they are able to reduce their antsy feelings in the world.
Clients can supplement their time in anxiety therapy with figuring out what coping skills work best so you can memorize them.
To prepare for your first anxiety therapy session, you can have an idea of what you have tried to do to deal with the anxiety.
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in San Antonio, TX can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks San Antonio therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about your anxiety symptoms, potential causes, and more. They can help you better understand and manage the symptoms of anxiety, which might include:
The most common and effective form of therapy for anxiety is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This is typically short-term and involves learning specific skills for reducing your unique anxiety symptoms and getting back to normal life. A subcategory of CBT is exposure therapy, which is also highly effective and involves exposure to the event or object that causes your anxiety.
The goal here is to gain confidence in those situations or around the given object, lessening your anxiety in the process and improving your ability to manage it.
At Thriveworks San Antonio, we offer anxiety therapy both online and in-person. If you are struggling with regular anxiety that is affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek anxiety therapy.
A professional can help you better understand your anxiety, offer a diagnosis, and develop a treatment plan that helps you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
