About Monique
Monique Goodson-Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She brings 17 years of experience to her work and focuses on practical ways to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, mood concerns, and relationship struggles. She uses straightforward talk and listening to learn what matters most to each person.
Sessions often include goal-setting, skill practice, and steps clients can try between meetings. Monique draws on cognitive behavioral methods and client-centered approaches to shape those steps in a clear, manageable way.
Background and approach
Her background includes supporting people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, and identity-related challenges. She also helps with sleep and eating problems, career stress, and coping with major life changes. Clients bring both short-term goals and longer-term concerns, and she adapts methods to fit the situation.
Monique describes her style as open-minded and multicultural. She aims to create an honest, nonjudgmental space where people feel heard and respected. That tone guides how she structures sessions and suggests next steps.
Practical tools often appear in her work - mindfulness practices, problem-solving exercises, and communication techniques. She combines these with motivational interviewing and emotion-focused ideas when helpful. Her goal is to support steady progress people can notice in daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals. Online sessions use that same attitude to help clients state what matters most and shape goals that feel achievable. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks concerns into thoughts, feelings, and actions and adds practical exercises. In remote sessions CBT often includes homework, worksheets, and short skill practices people can do between meetings to track progress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and daily routine. That plan can shift over time based on what helps and what doesn't, with regular check-ins to adjust direction.
Online therapy offers more flexibility and easier access to consistent care. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit short check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or travel, while keeping the focus on useful skills and steady progress.
