About Monique
Monique Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. She supports concerns that touch relationships, intimacy, grief, parenting challenges, and career strain. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people take small steps that add up to change.
She draws on six years of professional counseling experience. That work includes settings such as substance recovery and psychiatric care, plus time teaching human services at the college level.
Background and approach
Her background gives her familiarity with a wide range of life stages and difficulties, from young adulthood through later life. In sessions she centers the person in front of her and focuses on real-world skills. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking and from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and move toward them.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are available for managing strong emotions and improving coping. Monique aims for clear goals and steady progress. She encourages collaboration - the client brings their priorities and she offers structure, techniques, and support.
Conversations are often practical, with homework and simple strategies to practice between meetings. She offers multiple online session formats to fit different schedules and needs. International clients may be seen.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an appointment that fits their calendar.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Monique commonly uses acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take actions that match those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the client and therapist decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds, keeping the process collaborative and goal-oriented.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls let conversations feel closest to in-person meetings, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and reach licensed professionals from wherever the client is located.
