About Monique
Monique Gilcrest is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage strong emotions and everyday stress. She works with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, relationship problems, and major life changes. Monique keeps explanations plain and practical so people can use what they learn right away.
She draws on a mix of proven approaches to build a personalized plan. Sessions focus on identifying what matters most, learning new ways to react, and practicing simple skills between meetings.
Background and approach
Monique encourages small steps that add up to clearer thinking and steadier moods. Monique has eight years of experience working with concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, parenting stress, career strain, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing chronic illness, aging and caregiver challenges, and the emotional fallout from divorce or infidelity.
Her work includes helping people affected by disasters or first responder stress. In sessions she listens without judgment and helps clients find practical tools that fit their daily lives. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy among others.
The goal is workable change rather than labels. Monique practices in South Carolina and offers services in English. She accepts international clients and provides several online session formats to fit different schedules and needs.
New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting swept away and focus on what matters. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making values-based choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety through practical exercises. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can help people who struggle with anger or strong mood swings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Monique will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The first sessions often include practical skill-building and checking in on what fits the client's life and needs.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible from many locations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and worksheet work, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, and live chat or text-based messaging can support short check-ins or ongoing coaching between appointments. These formats offer flexibility so people can keep progress going around busy schedules and changing circumstances.
