About Monique

Monique Willett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 13 years of experience. She uses a practical, relationship-first approach to help parents and families manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and other life changes. Her style is warm and present, focused on listening and building trust before moving into skills and strategies.

She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness practices.

Background and approach

That means sessions often start with understanding where a family or parent is now, then adding small, concrete steps for coping and communication. She also draws on dialectical behavior ideas and motivational interviewing when emotion regulation or readiness for change is central to the work. Monique has worked with adults, adolescents, and children in individual and group settings.

She has experience with relationships and family issues, as well as grief, addiction, bipolar concerns, and sleep or intimacy-related problems. Her background includes school-based work and collaborative care with other providers. In sessions she focuses on strengths and practical skills.

She helps people spot patterns that cause stress and then practices new behaviors that reduce conflict and improve routines. Communication problems, co-morbidity, and life purpose are treated with clear goals and step-by-step plans. Monique holds licensure in North Carolina and brings a supportive, compassionate presence to therapy.

She encourages clients to speak openly about what techniques feel most useful and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Using practical approaches online for family and parenting challenges

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting connection first. The therapist listens closely and follows the family's priorities so goals feel relevant and realistic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches simple tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that help when anger, intense emotions, or relationship conflict get in the way.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work together with parents or family members to choose techniques that match needs, goals, and what feels doable at home. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, with an emphasis on practical skills and clearer communication.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls let therapists and parents meet face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions and live chat can be easier when schedules are tight, and text-based messaging supports quick check-ins and homework prompts. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into everyday life.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
