About Monique
Monique Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, and related concerns. Monique also addresses intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, anger, sleep and eating problems, and emotional challenges tied to career or life transitions.
Before her current practice she held roles in counseling, coaching, teaching and consulting for more than 15 years. That background includes work in educational settings, substance recovery programs, and psychiatric hospitals. She has experience across the life span from pediatric and adolescent settings through mid-life and aging adults, and she also taught human services at the college level.
In sessions she uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Conversations focus on concrete steps, coping skills, and clearer communication at home and work. She aims to build a collaborative relationship where the client and therapist both contribute to progress.
Monique pays attention to common family and parenting stressors including blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and communication problems. She also supports people facing abandonment wounds, attachment issues, codependency, commitment questions, and the emotional effects of divorce or separation.
Services are provided in English and she accepts international clients. Practical matters such as scheduling and the subscription-based payment model are managed through the platform's intake process. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Monique uses therapeutic approaches in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and replacing them with more helpful strategies. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns, and anger management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monique will discuss what feels most useful based on the client's goals, needs, and preferences. Together the client and therapist decide whether to focus on skills practice, emotion-focused work, or a blend of approaches so sessions feel practical and relevant.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a workday, remove travel time, or reduce the need to be on camera when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can use these options to help clients build skills, manage parenting strains, and address relationship communication in ways that fit everyday life.
