About Monje
Monje Moore is a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with three decades of experience. She greets nervous parents and individuals with calm, straightforward guidance. Monje focuses on practical steps to manage anxiety, depression, stress, parenting struggles, and relationship strain. She aims to help people feel more confident, balanced, and able to move forward.
Her background includes a Master’s degree in Counseling and Development from Long Island University and a School Counseling certification. Over 30 years she has worked as a clinician, therapeutic counselor, foster parent trainer, parenting skills instructor, school counselor, and school administrator. Those roles give her a wide view of how problems show up in daily life.
In sessions she uses a mix of approaches, including Client-Centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills. She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when helpful. The goal is practical change rather than just understanding what happened.
Monje pays attention to adoption and foster care concerns alongside topics like abandonment, attachment issues, and blended family challenges. She also supports people facing grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, and career or life transitions. Her style is collaborative and focused on identifying small, useful steps.
Therapy starts with listening, then clear strategies tailored to each person. She works in English and practices in New York. To begin, follow the platform process to match and schedule a first session.
Approaches that guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps people who feel stuck by focusing on what matters and small steps toward those values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people understand trust, closeness, and recurring relationship problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to your goals and explains options, then tests methods that fit your needs and preferences. Plans are adjusted as you learn what helps most, so therapy stays practical and focused on change.
Confirm available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as allowing shorter check-ins during a work break or avoiding travel time. It can also let people use grounding practices, DBT skills coaching, and cognitive-behavioral exercises between meetings to keep progress steady. Licensed professionals typically tailor the session rhythm and tools to match everyday routines and challenges.
