About Monique
Monique Goodson-Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings 17 years of experience helping people who are overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, addictive behaviors, and relationship struggles. She keeps sessions direct and practical.
Clients can expect conversations that focus on what matters most now and steps they can try between meetings. Monique emphasizes listening and understanding before suggesting tools or strategies. Her background spans many common concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, and career stress.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, body image, and mood disorders such as bipolar challenges. Monique draws on client-centered methods to create an empathetic, nonjudgmental environment. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and emotions, and emotionally-focused ideas to strengthen important relationships.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are offered when they fit a person’s goals. Sessions are offered in English and can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Monique works with each person to set goals, try practical approaches, and adjust plans based on progress and feedback.
Approaches that fit online care and everyday life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what’s happening, and helps people feel heard so they can decide next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior, offering clear tools to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Emotionally-focused ideas help people identify core emotions and improve important relationships by practicing new ways to connect and respond.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try strategies together, and adjust the plan if something isn’t helping. This collaborative approach makes it easier to match methods to the specific problem, whether that is anxiety, grief, or relationship strain.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy week. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, chat provides a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility so people can pick the format that best fits their schedule and needs.
