About Monique
Monique Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on issues parents often face. She supports concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting, grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, sleep and eating problems, and ADHD. Her approach is direct and practical, aimed at making day-to-day life more manageable for people juggling many responsibilities.
Monique draws on six years of counseling experience and prior roles in coaching, teaching, and consulting.
Background and approach
She has worked in settings that include educational programs, substance recovery, and psychiatric care, and she has taught students pursuing counseling careers. That background gives her a wide view of common struggles across different life stages. In sessions she focuses on building a working alliance.
She aims for clear goals and practical steps that clients can try between meetings. She encourages open conversation and partners with people to identify what changes will feel useful and realistic in their lives. Her toolbox includes therapy methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work.
She adapts techniques to each person rather than sticking to one rigid plan. Monique offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. She typically replies within 24 hours to messages and asks clients to contact emergency services for any medical crisis.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit family life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skills practice, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage overwhelming emotions and improve communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. This makes sessions more relevant and keeps the plan flexible as things change.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy families and individuals. Video calls and phone sessions let people meet from home while live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins and coaching between appointments. These options increase scheduling flexibility and help maintain continuity of care during life transitions or travel.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
