About Monique
Monique Goodson-Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who emphasizes a client-centered approach. She listens without judgment and helps people find practical steps for everyday problems. Her style is warm and direct, aiming to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
With 17 years of experience, she has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma and addiction-related issues. She also helps with relationship struggles, parenting stress, grief, codependency, and life transitions. Her background includes work with mood disorders and behavioral concerns that interrupt daily routines.
Monique blends methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy with mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing. She tailors sessions to each person's needs and focuses on clear goals and skills people can use between appointments. Sessions often explore patterns, communication habits, and coping strategies.
Her approach is multicultural and open-minded, aiming to create a respectful atmosphere where people feel heard and validated. She supports clients who want practical problem solving alongside deeper emotional work. The aim is to help people feel more in control of their choices and relationships.
Monique works with individuals across a range of concerns and adapts tools to match each situation. People seeking help for stress, relationship pain, addictive behaviors, or self-esteem struggles can expect straightforward, collaborative care. If you want to discuss specific needs, it's helpful to note them when you reach out.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift emotional responses that affect relationships and attachment patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monique will collaborate with each client to decide which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is reviewed over time and adjusted as progress or challenges arise.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time. It also lets people fit brief check-ins or longer sessions into a busy day and can be useful when juggling work, caregiving, or appointments. Licensed professionals can use these methods to teach skills, practice new ways of communicating, and follow progress between sessions.
