About Monique
Monique La Ruth Hart brings 17 years of clinical experience to her practice as an LCSW based in Florida. She focuses on helping people navigate depression, anxiety, grief, anger, and issues with self-esteem, combining practical strategies with empathic support.
Background and approach
Her background emphasizes responsive, individualized care that honors each person's life circumstances and emotional history. Her style blends evidence-informed tools and attentive listening to help clients identify patterns, build coping skills, and regain a sense of agency.
Monique draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, while also integrating client-centered principles that prioritize the client's perspective and goals. She incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness work when helpful, offering approaches aimed at emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and present-moment awareness.
Clients who seek a collaborative, strengths-focused partnership may find her approach helpful for navigating transitions, processing loss, managing stress, and addressing complex emotional responses. Monique emphasizes practical skill-building alongside compassionate exploration so people can move toward clearer priorities and more sustainable coping.
Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is often used for depression, anxiety, and stress by teaching practical coping skills and structured ways to reframe challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the client's own goals guide the work, supporting self-exploration and personal growth. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions and impulsivity.
Finding the right blend of techniques is part of the therapeutic process. Monique works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds and priorities shift.
Online sessions are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. These formats provide flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or other responsibilities, and allow continuity of care when in-person meetings are impractical. The variety of options supports ongoing access to licensed professionals and lets clients choose the way of connecting that feels most comfortable and manageable.
