Monique Foster , LPC

Monique Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on issues many women face. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges tied to parenting and caregiving. She also supports those coping with life changes, career stress, ADHD, and body image or eating concerns.

Monique draws on six years working as a counselor alongside earlier roles in coaching, teaching, and consulting. She has experience across settings including educational programs, substance recovery, and psychiatric care. That range shaped a practical, down-to-earth style that centers the person in front of her.

Her approach is collaborative. Sessions aim to build a working alliance where the client sets goals and Monique offers tools and reflection. She uses clear techniques from cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based work to help people change patterns that cause pain.

Monique also uses client-centered and emotionally-focused methods to deepen understanding of feelings and relationships. For people with intense emotions, she draws on skills-based strategies from dialectical behavior therapy to manage big reactions and reduce harm.

She practices in Texas as an LPC and conducts sessions in English. International clients may be seen depending on logistics. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging and can fit different schedules and needs.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes clarifying values and taking small steps that line up with what matters, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits, often useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy brings skills for handling intense emotions and improving emotional regulation. It includes techniques for distress tolerance and better interpersonal effectiveness when reactions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that fit the client's goals, comfort, and situation. That process may blend techniques from different approaches and change over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy lets people connect by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for in-depth sessions that benefit from face-to-face contact. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging can work for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when someone prefers typed communication. These formats make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into busy lives.
