Monique Willett, LPC, LCMHC

Monique Willett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She brings 13 years of clinical experience and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and skills-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other concerns.

Her first priority is building a trusting relationship. She listens closely and meets people where they are. That foundation guides how she and a client pick goals and methods that fit daily life.

Monique blends practical tools with supportive conversation. She often uses CBT techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to develop new coping skills. She also draws on client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on each person’s needs and strengths.

Her work covers a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship and communication problems, parenting strain, grief, sleep struggles, and mood concerns like bipolar disorder. She also supports people facing career questions, life transitions, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions focus on clear, usable strategies - from skill practice to short-term coaching and motivational work. Monique encourages collaboration so the plan evolves as a person changes. She helps people recognize strengths and build routines they can use outside of sessions.

People who choose her can expect practical steps, regular check-ins on progress, and conversations about what is and isn’t working. Her goal is to help clients gain tools that feel manageable and useful in everyday life.

Practical approaches for online care

Monique often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns in their thoughts and behaviors, then practice new ways of responding to stress, mood problems, and anxiety. She also applies client-centered principles that focus sessions on what matters most to the person and on building a respectful, collaborative relationship. When emotion regulation or intense stress is present she draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach manageable techniques for handling strong feelings and improving communication.

Choosing the best approach is a team process. Monique will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide which methods to try first. She regularly checks in and adjusts the plan as progress or new challenges appear so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or visual attention is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, homework review, or quick coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or busy family schedules while using techniques like CBT and DBT in real-life moments.
