Monique Willett , LPC, LCMHC

Monique Willett is a licensed counselor (LPC, LCMHC) based in North Carolina with 13 years of professional experience. LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and LCMHC stands for Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - both indicate formal training and state licensure to provide therapeutic services. She has worked with adults, adolescents, and children in individual and group formats, and she also brings experience assisting couples and families and working in school settings.

Her clinical work encompasses a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family challenges, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep difficulties, parenting and career concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and co-morbid conditions. She also addresses communication problems, drug and alcohol addiction, and questions about life purpose.

Central to her approach is establishing a strong therapeutic relationship first, based on active listening, respect, and meeting each person where they are. She combines strength-based thinking with cognitive-behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies to help individuals identify existing coping skills and develop new ones. Throughout treatment she works collaboratively with people on their goals and encourages open communication about which techniques feel most helpful.

Monique aims to be a supportive, compassionate presence during both struggle and progress, helping people recognize strengths and move toward the future they want. She values each therapeutic relationship and seeks to empower individuals as they work toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Monique integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting, collaborative relationship where the therapist listens deeply and helps individuals explore their values and goals - this approach often benefits people needing empathy, validation, and support in defining personal direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and learn strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and related concerns.

She also draws on elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when needed, teaching skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help people navigate intense emotions and relationship challenges. Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process - Monique works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access consistent therapeutic support from a distance while still working with trained therapists.
