About Monique
Monique La Ruth Hart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia and Florida with 17 years of practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and depression.
Her work often addresses related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, and communication problems. She also supports people coping with life changes linked to illness, first responder or veteran experiences, feelings of emptiness, and struggles with control or impulsivity.
In sessions she uses practical conversation and active listening to identify what is causing the most distress. She centers simple, doable strategies that can be used between meetings. Clients are invited to try small changes and notice what helps in day-to-day life.
Monique integrates methods from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness. That mix lets her pair gentle reflection with concrete skill practice for managing intense emotions and negative thinking patterns.
She pays attention to how stress, role demands, and life transitions affect routines and relationships. The goal is to strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and reduce overwhelming reactions so people can handle work and family demands more steadily.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. It involves open conversation, reflective listening, and helping people name what matters most to them. This approach is often useful when someone needs clarity about values or next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses specific exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and to build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. It is a skills-based approach that helps people reduce intense reactions and handle conflict more calmly.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels useful. That collaborative process helps match skills and conversation to each person's needs.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can use video for interactive skill practice or simpler audio sessions when bandwidth or a quick call fits the schedule better.
