About Monique
Monique Giannetti, LMSW, works with people managing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, ADHD, relationship and family challenges, trauma and grief, parenting concerns, compassion fatigue, and issues related to LGBT identity, kink and polyamory, and young adult transitions.
Background and approach
She frames common everyday struggles - sleepless nights spent replaying mistakes, feeling overwhelmed by tasks, procrastination, low motivation, isolation, and irritability - as understandable responses that can be addressed with practical strategies.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to build skills for managing emotions, breaking unhelpful thinking patterns, and establishing routines that support consistent functioning. Monique uses these methods to help clients develop tools for coping, reduce perfection-driven paralysis, and clarify personal goals and purpose.
She draws on seven years of clinical experience in Michigan and offers care in English. Clients who choose to work with Monique can expect a collaborative process that emphasizes problem-solving and skill building.
She aims to help people gain confidence in their day-to-day lives by equipping them with techniques to handle stressors, improve relationships, and move toward meaningful change.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Monique commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, focusing on practical exercises and behavioral experiments to build new habits. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for managing intense feelings and improving relationships.Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapt techniques from CBT, DBT, or solution-focused strategies to suit the individual. This allows sessions to emphasize the skills and strategies that matter most to the client.
Online therapy with Monique is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing work, school, caregiving, or other responsibilities, and they allow therapists and licensed professionals to deliver structured, skill-based interventions across formats.
