About Monique
Monique La Ruth Hart is a licensed clinical social worker with 17 years of experience. She practices in Florida and focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and stress. Monique speaks English and uses practical, down-to-earth language in sessions.
Monique frames sessions around each person’s real life. She listens first and then helps people identify small, doable steps to feel better. Common topics include problems with abandonment and attachment, feeling empty or isolated, struggles with control and impulsivity, and issues tied to caregiving or cancer.
How Monique works
She also supports people facing the emotional fallout from disasters, first responder stress, and concerns related to military service. Communication problems, jealousy, guilt, and shame are addressed with clear skills and hands-on practice. Monique helps people explore life purpose and rebuild self-worth after major changes.
Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior tools, and mindfulness practices. That means sessions often include focused problem-solving, emotion regulation skills, and attention to present-moment experience. Treatment is adapted to what the person needs, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
People work with her through conversation, skill-building, and practical exercises they can use between sessions. She aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant, so progress shows up in daily life. The overall goal is clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and a stronger sense of self.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person rather than a set method. Online sessions let the therapist listen closely and shape each meeting around what the client brings that day, whether that means problem-solving or emotional support. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it works well online for tackling anxiety, depression, and stress with homework and skill practice.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaboration helps make sessions more effective and tailored to each person’s needs and preferences.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work when it helps, phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in, and live chat or text-based messaging can support short updates, coping prompts, or moments when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities while focusing on real changes.
