About Monique
Monique Foster, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas, has six years of clinical practice. She works on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, and related concerns. She describes her style as down-to-earth and collaborative, focusing on building a therapeutic alliance and working together to improve quality of life.
Foster draws on several therapeutic approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take action. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thought patterns that feed symptoms. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) for emotion regulation and relationship patterns, and Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client's perspective.
Her background includes counseling, coaching, teaching, and consulting across educational settings, substance recovery programs, and psychiatric hospitals. She has experience with clients across the lifespan from pediatric through older adults and has worked in both clinical and academic roles, including teaching human services students preparing for counseling careers.
Sessions emphasize practical steps and clear communication. Foster asks clients to participate actively while she provides guidance and therapeutic techniques. She notes a prompt response time to messages within 24 hours and encourages reaching emergency services for medical crises.
People considering work with her should confirm session formats and scheduling details before booking. The LPC credential is presented as Licensed Professional Counselor and she practices in Texas.

Approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practice small steps that align with those values. ACT can help with anxiety, stress, and life changes by focusing on actions rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thoughts.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It provides concrete tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful for people who want practical strategies to manage strong emotions and improve communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review a client’s needs, goals, and preferences and discuss which methods to try. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made collaboratively during early sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT skills to remote sessions to keep the work practical and focused.
