About Monique
Monique La Ruth Hart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 17 years of experience. She practices in Florida and focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem, and depression. Monique speaks English and works with adults navigating emotional strain and life transitions.
She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools in sessions. Clients can expect discussions about patterns of thought, reactions to stress, and everyday habits that keep problems going. She draws on Client-Centered methods to listen and make space for what matters to each person.
Monique also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. When strong emotions or impulsivity come up she brings in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to help manage intense moments and improve emotional regulation. Mindfulness techniques are used to slow down and notice what is happening in the body and mind.
Her work often addresses issues tied to relationships and loss, such as abandonment, attachment concerns, communication problems, and caregiver stress. She also supports people facing life changes related to illness, first responder stress, and military-connected experiences. Expect a practical focus - building skills, testing small changes, and tracking what makes life easier.
To begin, clients complete an online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and understood. Online sessions use that same approach through conversation, helping someone clarify goals and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions she identifies patterns, tries small experiments, and practices different responses for problems like anxiety, anger, and low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for regulating emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. Online DBT work often includes practicing grounding techniques, distress tolerance, and step-by-step emotion regulation exercises between sessions.
Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps find what fits best for the person's situation and preferences.
Confirm specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, add short check-ins when stress spikes, or use audio-only when video isn't convenient. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life without promising a particular outcome.
