About Monique
Monique Goodson-Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 17 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, relationship and family issues, and challenges that come with major life changes.
Monique uses practical, straightforward methods. She draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to address thoughts and habits that get in the way. Emotionally-focused ideas and mindfulness exercises also appear in sessions when they fit the client's goals.
Sessions typically focus on clear, manageable steps. That can mean learning ways to reduce anxious thinking, changing unhelpful behavior patterns, improving communication, or building routines for sleep and eating. She also supports people navigating grief, identity questions, or parenting strain.
Her background includes long experience with trauma, attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family dynamics, and codependency. Monique has worked with people facing caregiver stress, commitment and control issues, and those coping after separation or other major losses.
She offers a direct, respectful style and mixes brief solution-focused strategies with longer-term emotional work. People meet to set practical goals, track progress, and adjust techniques as needed. Sessions are delivered in English and she accepts international clients; confirm current session options before booking.
How Monique’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps when someone needs a steady, respectful space to sort out feelings and decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives concrete skills to change patterns like worry or avoidance. That approach is often used for anxiety, depression and habit change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions in relationships, which can improve communication and closeness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monique will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That might mean starting with brief CBT tools, then adding emotionally-focused or mindfulness practices as trust builds. The choice is collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps most.
