   About Monique

   Dr. Monique Holsey-Hyman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-R) based in New York with two decades of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting tensions, family conflict, anger, and self-esteem challenges. Her manner is warm and interactive and she aims to make it easier to speak up and be heard without judgment.

   She brings practical guidance to everyday problems. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, small steps, and honest conversation. Motivational Interviewing appears among her approaches and is used to help people find their own reasons for change and build momentum toward those goals.

   Solution-Focused Therapy is also part of her practice, emphasizing strengths and what is already working. That approach looks for simple, concrete changes that can make daily life feel more manageable quickly.

   Her background combines clinical practice with long experience around higher education settings, giving her familiarity with young adults and the stresses they face. She avoids stigmatizing labels and adapts discussions to each person's situation.

   Dr. Holsey-Hyman explains options clearly and works collaboratively to shape a plan that fits a person’s life. People who want direct, respectful support for practical problems often find this style helpful.

2. How Motivational and Solution-Focused Work Online

   Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change. It uses open conversation to boost motivation and commitment to specific steps, which can help with anxiety, stuck patterns, or changing habits.
   
   Solution-Focused Therapy centers on what is already working and on small, practical changes. It looks for quick strategies and concrete goals so progress is visible and manageable in day-to-day life.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend a way of working. That recommendation can change as goals shift, and the process is collaborative rather than prescriptive.
   
   Confirm the available session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people choose sessions that match how they feel that day, such as focusing on short practical steps or longer problem-solving conversations.
