About Monique

Monique Goodson-Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who centers her work on client-focused, evidence-informed strategies to help people navigate complex emotional and behavioral concerns.

Background and approach

With 17 years of experience practicing in North Carolina, she blends approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused and Client-Centered methods to tailor care to each person’s needs. Her practice addresses a broad range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

She brings a multicultural, open-minded stance to sessions and emphasizes empathy, validation, and practical tools to support coping and growth. Her background includes work with attachment and abandonment issues, blended family and parenting challenges, communication and control problems, codependency, and adjustment to life changes.

Monique describes her role as collaborative - working with clients to identify goals, select approaches that fit, and build skills for daily functioning. She accepts international clients and offers flexible online formats to make ongoing care more accessible.

Approaches that guide online therapy and how they help

Monique often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, and behavioral concerns. This approach is action-oriented and useful for addressing stress, sleep and eating issues, addictive behaviors, and everyday coping skills. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to explore patterns in close relationships and to strengthen emotional connection and communication when relational distress or intimacy issues are present. Client-Centered Therapy is another foundation of her work, emphasizing empathy, collaboration, and tailoring the process to each person’s goals and preferences.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. She partners with clients to review needs, preferences, and progress, and adjusts methods over time so the work stays relevant and effective for the individual’s goals.

Online therapy with this practitioner is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase access and convenience. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity across life changes, and access support from different locations while working with licensed professionals who use structured approaches to guide treatment.
