About Monique
Monique Franklin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who blends practical, evidence-informed methods with empathic guidance to help people navigate difficult emotional and relational challenges.
Background and approach
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to address issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns, helping clients break unhelpful patterns and build clearer, manageable steps toward change.
In practice she concentrates on relationship and family dynamics, caregiver stress, parenting difficulties, grief, anger, and coping with life changes, along with career-related stress and bipolar-related concerns. Her work also attends to communication problems, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and cultivating self-love.
With 11 years of clinical experience, Monique supports clients through both short-term problem solving and deeper emotional healing. Located in Indiana and licensed as an LCSW with Illinois and New Jersey license details on record, she offers an approach that emphasizes empowerment, resilience, and collaborative goal setting.
Sessions are conducted in English and Monique accepts international clients, providing flexible formats to fit varied schedules and needs.
Online Approaches That Meet You Where You Are
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an outcome-oriented approach that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with more adaptive patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem work. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and existing strengths to create quick, achievable progress toward specific goals and can be especially helpful when clients want short-term, action-oriented support.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore goals, preferences, and the nature of their concerns, and together they will decide whether CBT, solution-focused techniques, or a combination best supports the desired outcomes.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or across time zones. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide skill-building, coping strategies, and supportive guidance without requiring in-person visits, and they support continuity of care for those who need adaptable options.
