About Monique
Monique Goodson-Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She brings 17 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, mood changes, and life transitions. Monique writes in a direct, empathetic way and focuses on practical steps you can use between sessions.
Her sessions center on the client's experience and goals. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to notice thinking patterns and try small behavior changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps with connection and relationship concerns when needed.
Monique also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to build awareness and strengthen motivation for change. She mentions work with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, bipolar concerns, parenting stress, and relationship struggles. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, and coping after disasters.
She describes herself as multicultural and open minded. This means she aims to be nonjudgmental and respectful of different backgrounds. The approach is collaborative: the therapist and client decide which tools to use based on real problems and goals.
Practical problems are part of the work. That can mean managing day-to-day tasks, improving sleep and eating patterns, or addressing communication and intimacy concerns. Monique encourages a space where people feel heard, validated, and empowered to try new ways of coping.
If you want to begin, the usual next steps involve a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session to talk about goals and options.
Approaches you can use online with a therapist
Client-centered work focuses on the person's experience and goals. The therapist listens, reflects what matters most, and helps clients decide practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and helps people try small experiments to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) aims to deepen understanding of feelings and strengthen important relationships, which can help with intimacy and communication struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each client to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.
