About Monique
Monique Goodson-Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress, manage anxiety, improve sleep, and address relationship and family concerns. Her style is direct and compassionate, with an emphasis on helping people feel heard and understood.
She has 17 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns, including depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, parenting strain, and attention-related challenges. She also supports people dealing with body image, codependency, caregiver stress, and life changes like divorce or adoption and foster care issues.
Her work blends several familiar approaches. She often uses client-centered conversations to follow what matters most to the person. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. Emotionally-focused ideas and mindfulness practices are used when emotions and relationships are central to the problem.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Clients can expect to talk through current struggles, try strategies between sessions, and check progress together. The therapist aims to create an honest, non-judgmental environment where people feel validated and more in control of daily life.
Monique welcomes people who want support with sleeping difficulties and daily functioning. She works with individual life challenges like anger, intimacy issues, career decisions, and compassion fatigue. For those exploring therapy, she offers a straightforward way to begin and matches methods to each person’s needs.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Monique commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide sessions. Client-centered Therapy means the conversation follows the person's priorities, with the therapist reflecting concerns and helping someone find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to improve mood, sleep, and daily routines.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationships or intense feelings are central. That approach helps people name strong emotions and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others. Together these methods aim to make therapy practical, whether someone needs strategies for better sleep or tools for handling stress and relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is treated as a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as progress is reviewed. This collaborative planning helps match techniques to what feels most useful for the individual.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises and between-session work so therapy fits into day-to-day routines rather than interrupting them.
