Monique Dildy, LPC-MHSP

Monique Dildy is a licensed counselor in Tennessee who helps people managing stress and anxiety. She also supports those facing LGBT-related concerns, family conflict, anger, and self-esteem struggles. Monique presents a calm and respectful presence to guide clients through change.

She approaches each person as an individual and adapts conversations and plans to fit specific needs. The work is practical and straightforward - setting goals, talking through difficult moments, and building skills to handle day-to-day pressure. Monique emphasizes compassion and sensitivity in sessions.

With five years of professional experience, Monique has worked with people navigating relationship challenges, commitment issues, and the special considerations that can arise around sexuality, kink, and non-monogamous relationships. She also addresses codependency, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and sex addiction concerns when relevant to a client’s goals.

Her style focuses on empowering clients to take steps toward a happier life. Sessions aim to teach tools for managing strong emotions and improving self-love. Monique invites honest conversation and helps people develop practical strategies they can use between sessions.

To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules based on the therapist’s availability. Monique uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session fees vary by location and availability.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

There are several evidence-based techniques commonly used to reduce stress and anxiety. Cognitive approaches help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel worry and self-doubt. These methods often include simple exercises to challenge thoughts and test new ways of thinking.

Skills-based therapy focuses on building practical tools for managing strong emotions and daily stress. Typical work teaches breathing and grounding techniques, problem-solving steps, and ways to improve self-talk and self-love so people can use them between sessions.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Goals and methods are revisited as progress is made so the plan can be adjusted together.

Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into daily life easier by removing commute time, offering shorter check-ins when needed, or allowing appointments during breaks from work. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote sessions, helping clients practice skills in their usual routines.
