About Monique
Monique Goodson-Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 17 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, relationship problems, parenting strain, and anger. She also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy issues, body image, ADHD, and career stress.
Monique draws on several practical therapy methods. She uses client-centered techniques to listen and build a respectful working relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps when relationship patterns and attachment concerns cause pain.
Her style favors straightforward conversation. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what a person wants to change. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people weigh options and move toward goals. Mindfulness tools are offered to ease reactivity and manage strong emotions like anger.
She has worked across a wide range of life challenges, including adoption and foster care issues, abandonment, blended family stress, codependency, caregiver burden, and coping after disasters. She brings experience helping people with mood disorders, bipolar symptoms, and disruptive mood problems.
Monique accepts international clients and sees English-speaking adults. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options and any practical details offered. To begin, select the online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Monique often uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a steady working relationship. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting back what a person says, and letting the client guide where work should go. It helps with trust and clearer communication in relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another commonly used method. CBT breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions to identify patterns that keep anger or anxiety running. It includes practical exercises and homework to test new ways of responding.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) can be used when attachment or relationship patterns are part of the problem. EFT helps people name core emotions, see how interaction cycles escalate, and practice different responses that reduce conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monique will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can evolve as progress is made, with adjustments based on how useful the tools feel.
