Dr. Monique Holsey-Hyman , LCSW-R

Dr. Monique Holsey-Hyman brings two decades of clinical experience to her practice in New York. She is an LCSW-R - Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a long record helping people manage stress and anxiety. She also supports people dealing with family and parenting challenges, anger, and concerns about self-esteem.

Her approach is direct and warm. Sessions are interactive and focused on practical steps. She listens without judgment and helps people name what matters most to them.

Clients commonly come for help with relationship communication, feelings of isolation or shame, and struggles around life transitions. She also addresses issues such as body image, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, money worries, and questions that arise during pregnancy and childbirth.

Dr. Holsey-Hyman uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find internal motivation for change and Solution-Focused Therapy to build on small, concrete steps. Together these methods make room for short-term progress and realistic goal setting.

She pays particular attention to women's issues, including self-love, body image, and the pressures that often come at midlife. The tone in sessions is respectful and practical, with an emphasis on clear next steps and real-world solutions.

Approach-driven online therapy for practical change

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses questions and listening to build motivation and reduce resistance, which can be useful for issues like anxiety, caregiving burnout, and life transitions.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps and what already works. Sessions focus on concrete goals and experiments to try between meetings, making it helpful for problem-solving around communication, anger management, and self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist reviews each person's goals and preferences and adjusts techniques over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to emphasize based on what feels useful.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are convenient for brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
