About Monique
Monique Goodson-Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina with 17 years of experience. She uses a person-focused approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, addictions, relationship strain, and everyday life challenges. Monique keeps language simple and practical in sessions so parents can follow along and try things between meetings.
Her work often combines client-centered listening with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness.
Background and approach
She also uses emotionally-focused methods and motivational interviewing depending on the concern. This mix allows her to tailor sessions to what each person says they need and to real-life goals they want to reach. Monique has supported people facing grief, trauma, parenting stress, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
She pays attention to cultural background and family history when those come up. Sessions focus on clear steps, coping tools, and communication skills that people can use at home. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Monique accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, someone would click the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to her availability.
The intake process is straightforward and designed to get right to the issues that matter most.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy means the session centers on the person and their goals. The therapist listens closely and follows what the client brings up, helping them name concerns and decide what to work on. This approach is useful for relationship worries, identity questions, and parenting stress.Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It gives concrete tools for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related task management, and sleep or eating problems. In online sessions it often includes simple homework and short skill practices between meetings.
Emotionally-focused methods help people notice and name emotions and improve how they connect with others. This is helpful for intimacy struggles and communication problems and can be done through guided conversations and role rehearsals in a session.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying one method for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders or brief reflections. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or school while keeping therapeutic progress moving forward.
