Monique Foster, LPC

Monique Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and midlife challenges. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to improve day-to-day functioning. Monique brings warmth and direct communication to sessions and aims to create a working relationship that supports change.

She has six years as an LPC and draws on more than a decade of broader work in counseling, coaching, teaching, and consulting. That background includes time in educational settings, substance recovery programs, and psychiatric hospitals. She also taught human services at the college level to students preparing for careers in counseling.

In sessions she uses straightforward, collaborative methods. Conversations typically identify what matters most to the client, set small actionable goals, and practice skills between meetings. She blends approaches so people learn new ways to manage mood, build healthier patterns, and handle relationship or career stress.

Monique works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related challenges, parenting strain, caregiver stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people navigating adoption or foster care issues, attachment and abandonment worries, and life transitions like divorce or aging.

Monique counsels in English and is based in Texas. She responds to messages within 24 hours and prefers to get to know new clients through an initial conversation that clarifies needs and next steps.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take actions that match those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete strategies to change them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, mood problems, and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and what shows progress. That shared decision-making helps tailor sessions to real life rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

The biography does not list specific online session types, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work makes it easier to fit care into a busy life because sessions can be scheduled without travel. Remote sessions can also allow shorter check-ins on a tough day, video conversations to practice skills in the moment, or phone meetings when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Licensed professionals adapt tools and homework to suit each person’s routine and goals.
