Monique Foster, LPC

Monique Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports those coping with ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, caregiver strain, and aging and geriatric issues. Monique brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions and emphasizes working together to improve day-to-day life.

She has about six years of clinical experience as an LPC and over 15 years working in counseling, coaching, teaching, and consulting roles. That background includes work in substance recovery programs, psychiatric hospitals, and educational settings. She has supported people at many life stages from young adults to older adults navigating change.

In the room she aims to meet people where they are. Conversations are straightforward and focused on clear steps clients can try between sessions. She values a strong therapeutic relationship and sees counseling as a collaborative effort where both people do the work.

Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods. Those include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and a client-centered stance. She uses tools from these approaches to address mood, coping, communication, and behavioral patterns.

If you prefer to start with a brief conversation, Monique notes she responds to messages within 24 hours. To begin a therapy match on the site, follow the platform steps to complete the short questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches that guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it often helps with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, which can be useful for mood instability and strong emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to match methods to goals and preferences. Over a few sessions she will suggest techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins, or make scheduling around work and caregiving simpler. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach skills, practice communication, and track progress without asking you to change your routine drastically.
