About Monique
Monique Franklin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship challenges. She brings 11 years of clinical experience and a focus on practical steps people can use right away. Monique practices from Indiana and communicates in English.
She frames therapy around empowerment and self-discovery. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and build coping skills. That can look like working on communication, addressing guilt and shame, or strengthening self-esteem.
Background and approach
Monique combines cognitive behavioral ideas with solution-focused work. She uses clear, structured techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts. Then she helps clients set short-term goals and test new behaviors between sessions.
Her background includes supporting people through family conflict, caregiver stress, trauma, and parenting concerns. She pays attention to how family roles and cultural context shape emotional responses. The focus is on realistic steps that fit each person’s life.
Monique emphasizes collaboration and respect. She listens for what matters most, and she tailors practical strategies to those priorities. The overall aim is to increase coping, improve relationships, and help people feel more in control of daily life.
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Monique often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts. CBT sessions typically involve simple exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that can be planned during a video call and practiced between sessions. Solution-focused therapy centers on setting clear, short-term goals and identifying small steps that move a person toward those goals.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Monique will work with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and daily life. Treatment is collaborative - clients and therapist decide together which skills to try and when to adjust the plan.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let a therapist observe body language and lead structured exercises. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or a quicker check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging can support brief updates, coaching between sessions, and tracking progress without needing to schedule a full call. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving duties, and other commitments.
