About Monique
Monique Rourk is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience. She practices in Michigan and works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, bipolar mood concerns, life changes, and ADHD. She also lists codependency and related patterns such as abandonment, attachment issues, and dependent personality concerns.
Monique uses a straightforward, collaborative approach. Sessions are relaxed and goal-focused. Clients help set goals and choose the methods to reach them. Sometimes conversations are the main work and other times they include skill-building exercises.
Her practice emphasizes client-centered work and cognitive behavioral strategies. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. These approaches are combined to help people notice unhelpful patterns, learn coping skills, and try new behaviors in everyday life.
Monique aims to reduce distress and decrease self-defeating habits so people can feel more capable and intentional. She helps clients build self-awareness, safety, and practical tools for managing emotions. That can include strategies for handling relationship patterns, setting boundaries, and responding differently to triggers.
Her training includes a master’s degree in mental health counseling and two professional licenses: WA LMHC and MI LPC. She offers services in English and does not take international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Monique integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that suit online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on open conversation and listening so clients can name what matters most. That style helps when exploring relationship patterns and emotional responses. Cognitive behavioral therapy breaks down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors into practical steps and tools. It is useful for anxiety, depression, addictive patterns, and codependency-related behaviors.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. She will help clients figure out what feels most useful based on goals and preferences. That means trying conversational methods at times and skill practice at others, with frequent check-ins to adjust the plan together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Many people appreciate online work because it can fit around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Online sessions can allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, make it easier to avoid travel time, and let clients use mindfulness or grounding skills in real time between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and homework to an online setting so therapy remains focused on daily life.
