Monique is a Michigan-licensed social worker with seven years of practice.
She uses straightforward, practical methods and a compassionate tone. Her sessions tend to focus on small, doable steps.
How Monique works
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps work goal-oriented and short-term when that fits the person’s needs.
Monique aims for clear tools that transfer into daily life. She helps people build routines, manage time and motivation, and reduce perfection-driven paralysis. When relationships or sexual identity are part of the concern, she addresses communication, boundaries, and values without judgment.
People can expect an active, collaborative style. Monique listens, offers concrete exercises, and checks in on progress from week to week. Sessions emphasize practical skills over long lectures.
Her background as a Licensed Master Social Worker informs a focus on social and environmental factors that affect mood and functioning. Monique frames therapy as a partnership where goals are realistic and measurable.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks problems into concrete steps and teaches skills for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior. That makes it useful for anxiety, low mood, procrastination, and day-to-day stress.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. It includes practical techniques for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help when anger or relationship issues feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans can be adjusted over time if something isn’t working.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people talk face-to-face when a longer conversation is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are options for shorter exchanges, ongoing check-ins, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity between appointments.
