About Monique
Monique Goodson-Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, depression, and related concerns. Her style is open and direct, aiming to make conversations feel safe and respectful from the start.
She draws on 17 years of experience supporting people through trauma, grief, mood disorders, ADHD, and life transitions. Sessions often center on practical steps to handle daily tasks, reduce symptoms, and rebuild routines. Monique pays attention to cultural context and personal history when shaping the work.
Her approach mixes client-centered listening with evidence-informed tools. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs work on attachment and relationship needs, while mindfulness skills help with stress and emotion regulation.
Monique also brings motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques when people want targeted change or clearer short-term goals. She aims to help clients feel validated and empowered while clarifying what they want from therapy. This can include coaching around career, parenting, or managing compassion fatigue.
People who are unsure what they need often start with an initial session to set priorities and plan next steps. International clients who speak English may be able to work with her, and session logistics are set after the match process.
How these approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects feelings, and helps them name what matters most, which can help with relationship and self-esteem concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online sessions can include simple exercises and homework to practice new responses for anxiety, depression, or ADHD-related routines.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and change patterns in close relationships. In virtual sessions this can mean slowing down to identify emotions and try new ways of connecting or expressing needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend one or two approaches to try. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as needs change.
Session logistics should be checked during the match step. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can focus on practical change and consistency.
