Monique Giannetti, LMSW, helps people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety and stress find clearer footing. She listens for the small habits and thoughts that keep someone stuck. Her approach focuses on practical steps to reduce worry and increase day-to-day functioning.

Background and approach
Her background includes seven years of clinical practice in Michigan as a licensed master social worker. Monique brings experience with depression, ADHD, anger, grief, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people navigating relationship questions, parenting stress, and young adult transitions.
Monique is comfortable addressing concerns tied to sexual and relationship diversity, including kink and polyamory, and she offers a nonjudgmental space to talk about identity and LGBT issues. She frames work in everyday terms and helps people set realistic goals they can use between sessions. People can expect a collaborative, paced process that focuses on skills they can practice at home.
Monique explains techniques clearly and checks in often to adjust the plan. Her style is direct but warm, aimed at helping people regain motivation and feel more in control of daily life.
Approaches that guide online work
Monique commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes practical emotion regulation and coping skills for strong feelings and impulsive reactions.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which centers on identifying small, concrete steps toward a preferred future and building on what already works. Together these approaches provide tools for managing worry, improving routine, and handling relationship or identity-related stress. Monique treats choosing an approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls let people work visually through skills and worksheets. Phone sessions can fit a work break or be easier if bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, practicing a skill between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting into a busy life.
