About Monique
Monique Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with grief, parenting strains, sleep or eating problems, ADHD, and career or life-change challenges.
Monique uses practical, down-to-earth methods in sessions. She listens first, then helps people tell their story and notice patterns that cause pain. She aims to build a working relationship where both parties contribute toward clear goals.
Background and approach
Her background includes counseling, coaching, teaching, and consulting across a range of settings. That work has included educational institutions, substance recovery programs, and psychiatric hospital environments. She also taught human services at the college level to students preparing for counseling careers.
In practice she draws on Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite unhelpful life stories. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions typically focus on small, achievable steps and skills that people can use between meetings.
Monique has six years of experience as a practicing counselor using the LPC credential in Texas. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients, working by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

How Narrative and ACT work online
Monique commonly blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered care. Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and identify chapters they want to change. It is useful for issues tied to identity, role shifts, and patterns that feel stuck.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, and then choosing actions that match personal values. Client-centered work emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person sets the pace and priorities.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for these approaches. Video calls let the therapist and client work with expressive tools and see nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share thoughts between sessions and fit counseling into busy days. These options give flexibility to practice skills and keep momentum between meetings.
