About Monique
Monique Franklin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of practice who emphasizes cognitive approaches to help clients reframe unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills.
Background and approach
She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with solution-focused techniques to address a wide range of life challenges, including relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, mood struggles such as depression and bipolar disorder, and stress and anxiety. Monique centers her work on empowerment and self-discovery, inviting clients to explore patterns that affect self-esteem, communication, and emotional regulation.
She brings particular attention to caregiver stress, family problems, grief, forgiveness, and issues of guilt and shame, guiding people toward greater self-love and healthier interactions. Practicing in Indiana, she draws on over a decade of clinical experience to tailor interventions to each person's circumstances.
Her style is collaborative and strengths-focused, helping clients set achievable goals, build resilience, and navigate life transitions with clearer coping tools and improved emotional insight.
CBT and Solution-Focused Support Online
Monique commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns and to build practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy is also part of her toolkit and concentrates on setting clear, achievable goals and leveraging existing strengths to produce noticeable changes in day-to-day functioning.Deciding which therapeutic approach fits best is a collaborative process. She works with clients to understand their needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors interventions so they align with what the person wants to accomplish. This collaborative stance helps clients feel more engaged in setting priorities and measuring progress.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access ongoing care from varied locations and allow clients to choose the communication method that supports consistency and continuity in their work with a licensed professional.
