About Monique

Monique Young is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She brings five years of professional experience and aims to create a respectful, sensitive space for people to talk about what’s most urgent to them.

She works with people navigating LGBTQ+ related concerns and supports those coping with loss and the aftermath of abuse. Conversations are tailored to individual needs so sessions stay practical and relevant. Monique emphasizes small, manageable steps toward feeling more capable and connected.

Her approach centers on listening first, then co-creating a plan that fits each person’s life. She adjusts pacing and tools based on how someone responds rather than following a fixed script. That flexibility helps when stress or anxiety makes change feel overwhelming.

Monique also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, and feelings of isolation or shame. She helps people practice self-compassion and build skills for handling panic, social anxiety, or mood shifts. Work often includes learning ways to calm the body, name patterns, and try new behaviors in everyday situations.

Sessions aim to balance practical coping strategies with space to process painful emotions. Monique invites people to explore forgiveness, reduce guilt, and strengthen relationships with themselves and others. She encourages gradual progress and offers steady support through the process.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Monique uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps people can try between sessions. One common approach emphasizes building coping skills for stress and anxiety - teaching breathing strategies, grounding exercises, and short behavior changes to reduce panic and worry. Another approach concentrates on processing loss and trauma by helping people name painful memories, make sense of reactions, and find ways to reconnect with daily life.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals, try a method, and adjust as needed if something does not fit. That gives space to try skills, reflect on what helps, and change direction without pressure.

Many people find online therapy fits their routines because it can reduce travel time and make scheduling easier. When session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the exact options before booking so you know whether video or phone meetings are available. Online work can make it simpler to check in during a busy week, follow up after practicing a skill, or keep momentum when life gets hectic.
