About Monique
Monique Gilcrest is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and changes in relationships. She focuses on clear, practical steps so people can feel steadier day to day. Monique writes and speaks plainly so worried parents and busy adults can understand what to expect in sessions.
She uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. Sessions often include strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thinking.
Background and approach
Client-centered techniques are used to build trust and make space for a person's own goals. Monique also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people act in line with their values even when emotions are difficult. When emotions run hot, skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy support regulation and better coping.
The Gottman Method is part of her practice for relationship concerns and communication work. Across eight years of practice Monique has helped people manage grief, trauma, caregiver stress, chronic illness, career strain, and intimacy-related issues. She pays attention to the whole situation, including family of origin topics, divorce and separation, and challenges tied to aging or end-of-life care.
Sessions are offered from South Carolina and are available in English. Monique accepts international clients and works through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She aims to make therapy accessible and focused on steps that fit everyday life.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work
Monique commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take small actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where choices feel blocked.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going, and then teaches practical skills to change those patterns. CBT is often applied to worry, low mood, and stress management.
The Gottman Method appears in her relationship and communication work to improve how partners talk and resolve conflict. Those techniques focus on concrete interaction habits rather than abstract theory and help clarify what to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Monique will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the client's needs. Together they track what works and adjust techniques over time.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be used when video isn't possible, and live chat or text-based messaging work for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving responsibilities, or travel.
