About Monique
Monique Murray is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 10 years of experience working in Maine. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, depression, and relationship concerns. Monique meets people where they are and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful.
She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths into the work. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps people can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Monique encourages small, doable changes that fit day-to-day life rather than big, abstract goals. In sessions she listens for what is most pressing and helps people build coping skills for tough moments. This can include planning for emotional triggers, routines to reduce anxiety, or ways to limit substance-related harms.
She also supports people navigating major life changes and mood instability such as bipolar-related shifts. Monique has worked with people facing long-term health challenges and caregiver strain. She also pays attention to relationship patterns like communication problems, commitment concerns, codependency, and blended family stress.
Her approach is practical and grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. People who benefit most tend to want a collaborative, steady guide who will help them try new strategies at a comfortable pace. Monique offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based sessions to fit different schedules and communication preferences.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Monique uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill-building and problem-solving. One common approach emphasizes teaching coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as short breathing or grounding exercises, behavioral strategies to reduce avoidance, and step-by-step plans for handling triggers. These skills help when anxiety feels overwhelming or when routines get disrupted.Another approach centers on mood management for depression and bipolar-related symptoms through activity planning, mood tracking, and routines that stabilize sleep and energy. These methods support gradual shifts in daily habits that improve mood over time. Both approaches aim to be collaborative and tailored to what each person finds useful.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different strategies, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to pick techniques that fit a person’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text are convenient for brief check-ins or for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
