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 common concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addiction, and stress. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Her approach draws from several practical methods. Monique uses client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters to the person in the room. She applies cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that make day-to-day life harder. Emotionally focused ideas are used when relationships and attachment feel central to the difficulty.
Sessions tend to focus on clear, usable steps. That might mean short experiments to test different coping strategies, communication practices to try with a partner, or mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is weighing change or dealing with addictive behaviors.
Monique names specific focus areas such as codependency, abandonment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and body image concerns. She also notes work with parenting stress, career strain, and coping with life changes like divorce or separation.
She offers an open and multicultural stance in sessions and accepts international clients. People who want to start can use the site matching process to schedule a first appointment and see which session options are offered.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
A client-centered approach focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to make sense of their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses small experiments and skills practice to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to feelings and attachment patterns and is useful when relationship reactions or closeness are causing pain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different methods, and adjust based on what helps. That collaboration can include blending listening, skills practice, and steps to change how someone responds in relationships or stressful moments.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, shorten travel, allow quieter check-ins during a break, or let someone avoid being on camera when they prefer. Licensed professionals tend to adapt techniques like CBT exercises and mindfulness to work well over remote sessions, keeping the focus on practical skills and real-life practice.
