    About Monje

    Monje Moore is a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 30 years of experience. She greets clients with a steady, practical presence and focuses on helping people take the next step when life feels hard. Many come for anxiety, depression, parenting strain, relationship struggles, trauma, or the fatigue that follows caregiving and work. She aims to listen first and then offer useful tools that fit everyday life.

    Her work emphasizes clear collaboration. Sessions start with where you are now and what you want to change. She draws on client-centered listening and attachment-focused thinking to understand how relationships and early experiences shape current patterns. Cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness practices are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and build steadier routines.

    Monje also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas and motivational approaches to help people clarify values and take manageable steps toward them. She has professional experience as a clinician, school counselor, parenting instructor, and foster parent trainer, which informs a practical, down-to-earth style.

    Clients report working on a range of issues from grief and intimacy-related concerns to anger, ADHD-related challenges, and career stress. The emphasis is on real-life change rather than only talking about the past. Monje supports people in building small, doable habits that add up to greater balance.

    Her New York practice is rooted in decades of varied roles across schools and clinical settings. She encourages a paced, hopeful approach so clients can move forward at a rate that feels right for them.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to boost motivation and reduce ambivalence, which can help with goals like quitting habits, managing ADHD-related routines, or improving relationships.

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, even when uncomfortable feelings appear. It suits issues like anxiety, grief, and life transitions where making choices aligned with values matters more than eliminating every difficult thought.

    Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and feelings in close relationships. It can help people understand why they react a certain way and practice different ways of relating to others.

    Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match approaches to their goals, needs, and comfort level, and may blend techniques across methods as progress unfolds. Clients are invited to test what helps and to adjust the plan together.

    Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and reduce time spent traveling. It can allow for shorter check-ins or longer work depending on what a person needs, and may be useful when quieter surroundings or not being on camera are preferred. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available online options before booking so arrangements meet your schedule and practical needs.
