About Monique

Monique Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, addictions, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy and self-esteem issues, and a broad range of related challenges.

Background and approach

She brings a practical, empathic approach that aims to plant seeds of hope and support clients as they move through life transitions, caregiving stress, and complex emotional patterns such as attachment and codependency. Her work also addresses areas like eating and sleeping difficulties, career concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

With six years of formal counseling experience and a longer history in coaching, teaching, and consulting, she has worked across settings that include educational programs, substance recovery services, and psychiatric hospital environments. Monique’s style is down-to-earth and collaborative: she prioritizes building a therapeutic alliance, meets clients where they are, and partners with them to improve quality of life.

Monique communicates promptly with clients and invites an initial phone or video conversation to begin the process.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Monique uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as part of her work, offering clear, practical tools alongside values-based strategies. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating disruptions. ACT helps clients clarify values, accept difficult emotions, and take committed action toward a more meaningful life, which can be especially useful for coping with chronic stress, grief, and compassion fatigue.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to explore which methods best match their goals, preferences, and present challenges, adjusting methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for each person.

Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to attend sessions from varied locations, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access consistent support without requiring travel. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, use these formats to tailor pacing and tools to each client’s circumstances.
