About Monique
Monique Goodson-Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She brings 17 years of clinical experience and uses practical, people-focused methods to help clients manage stress, mood, relationships, and life transitions. She favors a client-centered approach, which means conversations begin where the person is.
Sessions are straightforward. They focus on what feels most pressing right now and on skills that help day-to-day functioning. Monique also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice thoughts that fuel anxiety or low mood.
How Monique works
She mixes that with emotion-focused work when relationship patterns or attachment wounds are central. Mindfulness skills and motivational interviewing are used to strengthen motivation and manage impulses, such as with addictive behaviors. Her experience includes work with depression, anxiety, bipolar conditions, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, parenting strain, LGBT concerns, and ADHD.
She also addresses issues like body image, codependency, blended family stress, abandonment and attachment worries, communication problems, and coping after separation or disaster. Monique aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people feel heard and validated. Sessions emphasize clear goals and practical tools you can try between meetings.
She offers care in English and accepts international clients through online formats. Clients meet via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to connect people with a therapist and schedule a session according to availability.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
Client-centered Therapy focuses on understanding someone from their perspective and following their lead. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk through what matters most and set goals that feel relevant. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and shift emotion-driven patterns in relationships and attachment concerns, which can ease communication and closeness.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made so therapy stays useful and realistic.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to work together. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break or a quieter moment. Live chat and text-based messaging give shorter check-ins and a written way to process thoughts between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
