About Monique
Monique Gilcrest is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, and major life changes. Sessions focus on practical skills people can use between meetings to reduce reactivity and regain control over daily life.
Monique blends several evidence-informed approaches. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on acceptance and commitment work to help people notice their values and choose actions that align with them. Dialectical behavior therapy tools are included for building emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Clients can expect clear, actionable strategies rather than abstract theory. Conversations often include role-play, homework exercises, and step-by-step plans for handling triggering situations like conflict at work or heated exchanges at home.
Monique also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and older adult concerns. She helps people weigh options during divorce or separation and supports those coping with family-of-origin patterns that keep repeating.
Sessions are conducted in English, and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values and small committed actions that reduce reactive behavior and increase calm in tense moments. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives straightforward tools to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for handling intense moments without escalation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monique uses a collaborative process to identify which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. She will discuss options, try techniques together, and adjust the plan based on what actually helps in daily life.
