About Monique
Monique Templeton Poe is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on practical, family-centered help. She keeps conversations direct and simple so parents can get clear tools fast. She listens for strengths and builds on what is already working in a family.
She encourages small steps that fit busy schedules and priorities. With eight years of practice in California, Monique has helped people with stress and anxiety tied to family life.
Background and approach
She also addresses relationship tensions, low self-esteem, motivation, and depression. Communication problems, forgiveness, finding life purpose, and learning self-love are regular topics in her work. In sessions she draws attention to everyday patterns that shape family interactions.
She guides clients through concrete changes in how they talk and set boundaries. The focus is on what can be done between meetings so families notice steady progress. Monique treats each person as the expert of their own story.
She looks for strengths to build on and helps translate goals into small, manageable steps. Her approach aims to make parenting and family life feel more workable rather than overwhelming. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges that courage.
For people ready to try therapy, she helps create a clear plan and realistic next steps tailored to family needs and schedules.
Approaches that translate well to online family support
Monique commonly uses evidence-based techniques that focus on communication and practical change. One approach emphasizes improving how family members talk and listen to each other, teaching specific skills for clearer requests and calmer responses. This helps reduce recurring arguments and makes cooperation easier.Another approach centers on identifying small, manageable behavior changes that happen between sessions. It breaks larger goals into daily actions, such as setting routines, practicing boundary statements, or short check-ins. Those steps help turn ideas from sessions into real shifts at home.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to match methods to the family’s goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they adjust techniques as progress and priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions suit tight schedules. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, asking questions between meetings, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into family life and try out new skills in real time.
