More about Monique

  • 17 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW-C, LCSW, LICSW

As a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on empowering clients experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, and challenges with self-esteem. I have extensive experience working with women's issues, including pregnancy, postpartum experiences, and caregiver stress.

My therapeutic approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each individual's unique journey. I understand the nuanced challenges of navigating panic disorders, isolation, control issues, and emotional healing. Drawing from years of professional experience, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their inner strengths and develop meaningful coping strategies.

I am particularly committed to helping individuals rebuild self-love, process difficult life transitions, and develop resilience in the face of personal challenges. My work honors the complexity of human experiences, especially for those managing stress, relationship dynamics, and emotional recovery.

Through a collaborative and affirming approach, I aim to walk alongside my clients, offering guidance, understanding, and professional support as they move toward healing and personal growth.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
