About Monique

Monique Rourk is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and addiction. She brings 20 years of experience and a calm, down-to-earth manner to sessions. Clients can expect a nonjudgmental and compassionate approach with practical focus on the issues they bring.

Monique keeps sessions relaxed while staying goal-focused. She invites clients to set goals and choose options for addressing them. Conversations can range from open talk therapy to skill-based work depending on what is needed in the moment.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral strategies. That mix is used to build self-awareness, reduce unhelpful patterns, and create tools for emotional stability. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness practices when helpful.

Monique aims to help each person form a more rational way of looking at life that lowers emotional distress and cuts down on self-defeating behavior. She emphasizes whole-person care, looking at practical areas of life that affect well-being and recovery.

She has a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and holds licensure as an LMHC and an LPC in Michigan. Her work includes focus areas such as trauma, PTSD, mood disorders, sexual and BDSM-related concerns, relationship issues, and stress-related problems. People who want a steady, practical, and empathetic therapist will find her approach straightforward and collaborative.

How her therapeutic approaches fit online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. It helps people feel heard and encourages them to set their own goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that feed depression or anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Over the first few sessions she will check in and adjust methods so the work feels useful and relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful, and reduce time spent traveling. Licensed professionals can use talk-based and skills-focused work effectively online, and the same pacing and structure used in person can be adapted to remote sessions.
