Monique Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with six years of experience as an LPC. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and issues around relationships, grief and intimacy. She also supports concerns such as eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

Her work has involved people at many life stages, from pediatric to older adult contexts, and she has also taught human services at the college level.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. Sessions focus on building a working relationship, naming what feels difficult, and trying small changes that can shift patterns. Monique uses methods from Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to inform her work.
Clients can expect conversations that assess current problems, identify helpful skills, and track progress. She describes therapy as a shared effort where the client and therapist each contribute to change. Monique aims to respond to messages within 24 hours.

How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with emotions that shape how people relate to themselves and others. It can help when patterns of emotion and attachment make it hard to resolve recurring conflicts or feel secure. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that reflect personal values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to reduce symptoms like depression or anxiety.Finding the right approach is discussed together. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods to use based on goals, preferences, and what is most helpful in sessions. That collaborative process can include trying a mix of EFT, ACT, or CBT based on progress and needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow follow-up conversations between in-person visits. Online work can also make it simpler to schedule shorter check-ins or longer therapy blocks depending on what fits someone’s routine. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote sessions while focusing on practical skills and emotional work.
