About Monique
Monique Gilcrest is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in South Carolina with eight years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, parenting strain, grief, and other life transitions. Monique also addresses family of origin issues and concerns related to trauma and abuse.
In sessions she talks through the patterns that began in childhood and how they show up now. She uses clear, practical tools from therapies such as CBT and ACT to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also uses client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on each person’s priorities.
Monique pays attention to everyday pressures like work stress, caregiver responsibilities, chronic illness, and grief. She helps people develop coping skills for anger, isolation, and intimacy-related difficulties. Conversations often include planning for small changes that fit into a busy life.
Her approach includes skills from DBT for managing strong emotions and some emotionally-focused techniques to improve connection and communication. She describes therapy as collaborative - exploring what matters most and testing what works over time.
Monique accepts clients from outside the United States as well and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and practical details through the platform’s scheduling tools.
How Monique Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Monique draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take steps toward them, even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. CBT offers concrete ways to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different responses to reduce anxiety or low mood.She also incorporates client-centered principles, which means sessions are led by the client’s priorities and pace. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals and try approaches that fit the person’s needs and preferences over several sessions.
Before booking, confirm which session formats Monique currently offers through the platform’s scheduling tools. Knowing the formats helps plan practical matters like timing and whether a shorter check-in or a longer session works best. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, manage caregiving responsibilities, or access help from a different location. The focus remains on choosing methods and schedules that match daily life and the issues the client wants to address.
