Background and approach
Parenting stress, caregiver strain, and career concerns are part of her day-to-day experience. In sessions she helps people improve communication, set boundaries, and repair relationships where possible. Monique guides conversations about guilt, shame, and forgiveness in ways that help people move forward.
Her style is practical and person-centered, focusing on what will feel useful right away. Monique combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape clear, short-term goals. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking, test new behavior, and track small wins.
This approach is meant to create momentum and build coping skills that fit daily life. She practices in Indiana and holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW. Sessions are offered in English and she is available to work with international clients.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Monique uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that make feelings worse and try different behaviors to change the outcome. CBT often involves short exercises and real-life practice between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and ease depression.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to map small, achievable steps toward a preferred life. This method stays goal-oriented and looks for what is already working, making it useful for stress, caregiver burnout, communication problems, and family tensions.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Monique will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and pace. Together they set priorities, test approaches, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with her is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, while phone calls can fit a shorter break or lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging can be used for quick check-ins, homework, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
