About Monique

LMFT Monique Young is a California licensed marriage and family therapist with five years of clinical experience helping people address stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and LGBTQ+ concerns. She works with adults who want practical tools for day-to-day coping and clearer ways to manage strong emotions.

Monique focuses on concrete strategies rather than abstract talk. She helps people recognize patterns that feed anxiety and mood problems. She also supports those navigating loss, relationship communication challenges, caregiver stress, and feelings of isolation or shame.

Her practice emphasizes respectful, sensitive conversation and collaborative planning. Sessions are shaped around what a person can use between meetings, such as coping skills, communication techniques, or ways to reduce panic symptoms.

Monique adapts the pace to each person’s needs and priorities. She works with people to set specific goals and checks progress regularly. This approach keeps sessions focused on meaningful, manageable change.

People who reach out should be prepared to describe current concerns and goals. To begin, use the site’s matching process and schedule a first session after completing a short questionnaire. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions

Monique describes her methods as evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, teachable skills. For example, cognitive-behavioral techniques help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different, more useful responses. These approaches are commonly used for anxiety, panic symptoms, social anxiety, and mood concerns.

Another common approach involves grounding and coping skills for trauma and strong emotions. These are practical steps a person can practice between sessions to reduce distress and manage triggers. This kind of work often supports people coping with grief, post-traumatic stress, and feelings of isolation or shame.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will go over needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Progress and fit are discussed as therapy continues so adjustments can be made together.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible for international clients to connect without relocating.
