About Monje
Monje Moore is a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 30 years of clinical experience. She greets people with calm, practical support and focuses on helping them move through anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Her style is collaborative and direct, offering tools you can use between sessions. Monje draws on a variety of approaches to match the person in front of her.
She uses the Gottman Method ideas for relationship patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and actions, and Attachment-Based perspectives to understand how early bonds affect today. She also applies client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Her background includes roles as a clinician, therapeutic counselor, foster parent trainer, parenting skills instructor, school counselor, and school administrator. Those experiences inform a practical approach that pays attention to family dynamics and real-life demands.
Monje can talk through issues related to adoption, blended families, attachment struggles, abandonment, and family of origin concerns. Sessions address everyday problems like stress, self-esteem, communication problems, anger, jealousy, and career questions as well as more intense concerns such as trauma, dissociation, impulsivity, and compassion fatigue.
She works with people who are navigating divorce, commitment issues, forgiveness, and guilt. Monje offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexible care.
She encourages people to start with a brief matching questionnaire to find a good fit and then schedule according to availability.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Monje uses the Gottman Method ideas to look at patterns in relationships and communication, helping people identify repetitive interactions and practice clearer ways to connect. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients clarify what matters to them and take small actions in line with those values even when feelings are difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape expectations and closeness, which can guide work on trust, intimacy, and parenting concerns.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Monje treats approach selection as collaborative - she will discuss your goals, symptoms, and life context and recommend methods that match what you want to change. Sessions can adapt over time as priorities shift and progress is tracked.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexible ways to check in. Video is useful for deeper conversation and observing nonverbal cues, phone can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth situations, and chat or text messaging work well for short updates, homework, or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, parenting, or care schedules while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
