More about me

Licensing: LCSW Years in Practice: 9 State: Indiana

First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to read my profile and for seeking help as you progress through this time in your life. A little about me, I am a licensed clinical social worker in Arizona, Indiana, Illinois and New Jersey. I have 6 years of experience working as a therapist. I have worked with many different people with many different concerns. I have aided in progress with individuals that are depressed, anxious and having a hard time adjusting or have experienced severe trauma.

My hope is for every client to feel heard and welcomed. My style is warm and questioning. I tend to help clients connect all of the information themselves and then develop a plan that will prove to be beneficial for their life and situations. My approach is cognitive behavioral with reality and solution focused therapy. I will work with the client so that treatment is individualized and unique.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

To this day, I say that Monique is the best thing to have come out of my divorce. She had to learn real quick what was happening because I was in the thick of it when I first reached out. With Monique, I believe I have what many of my friends are jealous of - that perfect client to therapist relationship. I’m grateful that a platform like betterhelp drew in someone as incredible as Monique and I get to reap the benefits. I recommend betterhelp to my friends repeatedly due to massive help it’s had in my life and mental health.

Overall

My therapy time with Monique was shorter than I’d have liked, but incredibly insightful. She is open minded, kind, knowledgeable, and very down to earth. I felt very comfortable discussing my marital, familial, and past trauma issues; Monique is extremely easy to talk with. We had a great rapport, and although I had to stop temporarily for financial reasons, I hope she and I will reconnect when I’m able to come back. She had a kind, friendly disposition, and brought levity yo some of my heavier sessions.

A.N.·Jan 04, 2022

Overall

I started therapy because I felt overwhelmed with sadness on a daily basis. I was not happy in 2 areas of my life and I felt that I needed to start healing / understanding what was going on with myself and then I could better tackle those 2 areas. I was in counseling for 8 weeks and I will say that it helps to talk to someone that you do not know. I appreciated the check ins in between appointments, those were definitely helpful to keep on track between sessions.
