About Monique

Monique Parr is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor working in North Carolina. She holds a Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University and a bachelors degree in Psychology with a minor in Sociology from Fayetteville State University. Monique brings six years of clinical experience and a longer history in direct care and program management in mental health settings.

Her practice centers on creating a respectful space where people can talk about difficult feelings and life changes.

Background and approach

She uses practical approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered dialogue to help people identify patterns and try new ways of coping. Attachment-based ideas also guide how she thinks about relationships and emotional safety. Sessions focus on real situations - mood, stress, parenting challenges, grief, relationship problems, and daily worries are all invited into the conversation.

Monique aims to build trust quickly and to support each persons choices. She pays attention to emotional, social, cultural, and spiritual factors that shape a persons life. Her style is warm, direct, and focused on helping people find steps they can take between appointments.

Clients can expect a mixture of listening, practical exercises, and collaborative planning. She values honesty and genuineness and encourages autonomy as part of change. Monique applies her background in both hands-on care and program leadership to keep work organized and goal-focused.

Her listed areas include concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting, addictions, LGBT concerns, and coping with life changes. Monique is licensed in North Carolina as LCMHC number 13017 and conducts sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviors; it helps people improve connection, trust, and emotional safety in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening without judgment and supporting each persons own goals, which can be helpful for those needing validation and a space to explore choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. That way the work fits the persons needs, preferences, and life circumstances rather than starting with a single fixed plan.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options let people fit sessions around school, work, or family life and continue therapy from home or another suitable space. For many, the range of formats makes it easier to stay consistent and to use therapy tools between meetings.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
