About Monique

Monique Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, and related concerns. She draws on experience across substance recovery, psychiatric settings, educational institutions, and higher education to support practical change. Monique emphasizes starting where a person is and building a working relationship together.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps people can take between meetings. Monique uses grounded, straightforward language and encourages clients to bring what matters most to them into the room.

Her background includes work with a broad age range from pediatrics through older adults, and roles in counseling, coaching, teaching, and consulting. She also taught human services to future counselors, which informs how she explains concepts and skills. These experiences shape a flexible approach to common life challenges.

Therapeutic work often covers mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting and caregiving stress, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports people facing career shifts, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD-related concerns, and burnout or compassion fatigue.

Monique uses methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to fit the person’s needs. Her six years as an LPC emphasize practical tools paired with a respectful therapeutic relationship. To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and everyday life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters most and take small actions toward those values. It often supports coping with anxiety, stress, and life changes by teaching practical ways to move forward despite difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and some eating concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as new issues emerge or progress is made.

This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care when living in different places or balancing work and family demands. Licensed professionals tailor pacing, between-session tasks, and the kinds of tools used to suit how a person wants to work.
