About Monique

Monique Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of counseling experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and codependency. Monique also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, career stress, and attention-related challenges.

She brings practical experience from substance recovery settings, psychiatric hospitals, educational institutions, and coaching roles. That background informs her approach to everyday problems and crises. Sessions focus on clear goals and steady progress rather than abstract talk.

Monique uses several evidence-informed methods to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and take small meaningful steps.

She also weaves in Client-Centered techniques to listen and reflect what matters most to the person. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to manage strong emotions and reduce reactive behavior. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide work on attachment and closeness in relationships.

Monique describes herself as practical and down-to-earth. She expects clients to be active partners in the work. People who prefer direct feedback, concrete tools, and a steady plan tend to find this style helpful.

Her practice accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Monique integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her online work. CBT focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and teaching practical skills to change them. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps even when feelings are difficult.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when strong emotions or reactivity make life harder. DBT skills teach breathing, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness to reduce cycles of crisis and regret. These approaches fit many concerns listed in her profile like anxiety, addictions, codependency, and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Monique will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that fit the person, and adjust the plan as needed. Expect practical tools, homework-style practice, and clear progress checks so both therapist and client can see what helps.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are used. Before booking, confirm the available online session formats. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a work break or a phone call when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals often find remote sessions help keep momentum between in-person visits.
