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 facing anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and struggles such as ADHD, addictions, grief, and coping with life changes.
She speaks plainly in sessions and focuses on what is happening now. Monique uses practical conversation and goal-focused strategies to help people manage stress, sleep problems, eating concerns, or trouble with intimacy and communication. She also addresses issues linked to family of origin, attachment, abandonment, and blended family dynamics.
Her approach draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness practices, and Motivational Interviewing. That mix lets her listen first, then offer ways to change unhelpful thinking and improve relationships. Sessions often include skills practice, reflection, and clear next steps to try between meetings.
Monique works from a multicultural, open-minded perspective. She pays attention to how family roles and expectations affect daily life and relationships. She can also support people dealing with caregiver stress, codependency, commitment worries, and career-related strain.
People looking to begin typically complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Her practice accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work
Monique uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and prioritize the client’s experience. This approach focuses on understanding feelings and perspectives so people feel heard and can identify what matters most to them.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior. CBT offers concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, improve sleep, and change habits that cause distress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another tool she draws on for relationship and attachment issues, helping people recognize and change interaction patterns that keep them stuck.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Monique will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. That conversation guides whether sessions emphasize listening, skills practice, emotional processing, or a mix of methods.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. It also supports working through relationship patterns and family-of-origin issues from wherever you are while focusing on practical steps you can try between sessions.
