Monique Giannetti, LMSW

Monique Giannetti is an LMSW who helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, and life changes. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and issues related to LGBT identity. Her approach is practical and aimed at day-to-day relief. Monique focuses on helping clients build simple routines and skills they can use right away. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to break problems into manageable steps. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying new behaviors, and setting small goals to gain momentum. She pays attention to how mental load shows up in daily life - sleep, chores, motivation, and relationships. Monique talks through what gets in the way of consistency and helps people replace avoidance with doable habits. That might look like planning a low-effort morning routine or breaking large tasks into tiny steps. Monique is also comfortable discussing sexuality and relationship structures, including BDSM, kink, and polyamory or other non-monogamous arrangements. She works with young adult issues and supports people navigating identity and relationship negotiation without judgment. Originally practicing in Michigan, Monique brings seven years of clinical experience to her work. She keeps the room straightforward and collaborative, focusing on small, achievable changes that add up to bigger improvements over time.

CBT and Skills-Focused Therapy Online

Monique uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often focus on practical exercises, short experiments, and clear skill practice to reduce anxiety, low mood, and avoidance. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. Those techniques can help when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Monique will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She adapts plans as progress is made and priorities shift. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat and messaging make brief check-ins and homework easier, and text-based work can fit around busy schedules. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to use alongside the rest of life.
