Monique Gilcrest is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She focuses on practical ways to cope when routines shift, relationships strain, or grief and loss arrive. Monique aims to make therapy straightforward and usable for daily life.

She uses a mix of approaches to match a person’s needs. Sessions often include steps to notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new behaviors, and clarify personal values. These tools are offered in simple, hands-on ways so clients can try them between meetings.

Monique has eight years of experience working with concerns such as trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, career transitions, and caregiver burnout. She also addresses chronic illness, end-of-life issues, and isolation that can come with life changes. Her background emphasizes listening without judgment and tailoring plans to each person’s situation.

Her style blends client-centered conversation with goal-focused techniques so people can both feel heard and take concrete steps forward. Monique pays attention to how emotions, relationships, and daily routines interact. Together with clients she builds small, achievable strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve coping.

Therapy with Monique is offered in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Payment uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps aligned with those values. It helps when life changes leave someone feeling unmoored or stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s perspective leads the work and new insights emerge through reflective conversation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Monique will check in often and adjust techniques as needs change, so treatment is flexible and focused on what helps in daily life.

Confirm current session options before booking to learn which online formats she offers. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let someone join from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep momentum between sessions and help clients practice coping skills in real-world situations.
