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 shifts, and relationship struggles. Her approach aims to make therapy practical and understandable for busy lives.
She draws on client-centered work to follow each person's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolbox to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness practices are also used to deepen emotional understanding and calm daily tension.
Monique has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and parenting stress. She also works with issues of intimacy, communication problems, body image, and challenges related to adoption and foster care. She describes her style as open minded and multicultural, and she aims to create an honest and empathetic space.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and workable steps that fit everyday life. She may combine short-term strategies and longer conversations depending on what a person needs. Her background includes individual, group, and relational work across different settings over nearly two decades.
People who choose her can expect a direct but warm style, emphasis on practical change, and an effort to validate what they are going through. Monique offers services in English and accepts international clients, and she works with each person to find the best path forward.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following a person's priorities. Online sessions can still center on what matters most and let the therapist respond to pace and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and small experiments to change patterns. That work adapts well to remote conversation and shared homework between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift emotional responses in relationships. In online sessions it can guide clearer expression and new ways of connecting with others.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit each person's needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path. That means trying tools, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to keep continuity for people who are traveling or living outside the immediate area. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices for remote sessions so progress can continue between meetings.
