Monique Gilcrest

Her style is direct and warm, aimed at practical steps people can use between sessions. She combines several approaches to match each person's needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

Sessions often focus on building clearer communication, managing strong emotions, and creating realistic day-to-day coping plans. Monique uses tools that help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and track small gains over time.

With eight years of experience, Monique brings a steady presence to hard moments. She pays attention to each client's history and current stressors, including caregiver strain, chronic illness, and issues that arise near the end of life.

Her work also includes helping people handle isolation, anger, and the aftermath of infidelity or separation. Monique draws on evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

She also uses client-centered techniques and the Gottman Method where useful for improving relationship interactions. Sessions are focused on real-world skills and clear goals that fit the client's life.

People who choose Monique get regular check-ins on progress and practical homework between sessions. The aim is steady forward movement so clients can feel more in control and more able to meet daily demands.
