Monica Carrasco

Monica Carrasco is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Mosaic Wholeness Center in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, bringing more than six years of clinical experience to individuals, couples, children, and adolescents who are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the quiet weight of relational stress. Who She Helps Monica works across a wide range of presentations and stages of life, and that breadth reflects an intentional choice: she believes healing is not one-size-fits-all, and she has built her clinical toolkit to meet people wherever they are. Whether you are an individual trying to make sense of your own patterns, a couple working to rebuild something that has frayed, or a young person who needs a steady, caring presence, Monica shows up with the same grounded warmth. She works with: Individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and adjustment challenges Couples working to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, or repair relational ruptures Children and adolescents facing emotional and behavioral difficulties Adults navigating major life transitions and identity shifts Clients who want faith and spirituality integrated into their therapeutic process Spanish-speaking and bilingual clients seeking culturally responsive care How She Works Monica’s approach is collaborative, client-centered, and genuinely curious. She draws from mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and person-centered therapy, selecting what fits each person rather than applying a fixed formula. For clients who desire it, she integrates faith-based perspectives and spiritual truths into the work, recognizing that spirituality can be a powerful source of grounding and resilience. For those for whom faith is not central, she brings the same openness and respect, meeting each person exactly where they are. Why This Work Monica is drawn to this work because she believes every person carries more capacity for growth than they can currently see, and that the right therapeutic relationship can help them access it. That conviction shows up not only in her sessions with clients but also in the supervision she provides to emerging clinicians. She invests in the next generation of social workers with the same warmth and intentionality she brings to her clinical work, helping them develop their own voice and confidence as they grow into the practitioners they are becoming. She recently extended that same investment to youth leadership at her local church, walking alongside young people as they explore faith and learn to apply it in their everyday lives.

Her faith is not a compartment in her life; it is woven into everything she does, including how she shows up for her clients. Ready to Take the First Step?
