   About Monique

   Monique Willett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in North Carolina. She brings 13 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Her approach centers on building a strong therapeutic relationship so people feel heard and understood from the start.

   She uses Motivational Interviewing alongside Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral approaches to support change. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and recognizing existing strengths. She listens closely before suggesting strategies so goals come from the person, not the clinician.

   Monique also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy tools when emotional regulation and coping skills are needed. Those tools help with intense emotions, repeated behavior patterns, and moment-to-moment awareness. She works with issues like addiction, grief, relationship or communication problems, parenting strain, and career concerns.

   The practice emphasizes collaboration. Monique helps people set realistic goals, try specific skills between sessions, and adjust plans as progress is made. She also pays attention to co-occurring issues such as ADHD, bipolar concerns, or substance use when they affect daily functioning.

   Her style is supportive and compassionate, with a focus on meeting each person where they are. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions that match their needs and availability.

2. How Motivational Interviewing and Practical Therapies Work Online

   The practice uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want to change and find their own reasons to move forward. This approach focuses on listening, asking helpful questions, and guiding people toward personally meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy is also an important part of the work and emphasizes empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and respecting each person's perspective.
   
   Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides clear tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT exercises often include practical homework like tracking thoughts, testing assumptions, and building small behavioral changes that add up over time. These methods are useful for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep problems, and coping with stress or addictive behaviors.
   
   Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk through options based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt methods as progress is made. That collaborative process helps keep work relevant and focused on what matters most.
   
   Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available session options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy days, reduces travel time, and makes it easier to keep regular appointments. It can also let someone choose a quieter time or a shorter check-in when their schedule is tight, while still working on skills between meetings.
