Monique Parr , LCMHC

Monique Parr is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina, holding license number 13017. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Sociology from Fayetteville State University in 2004 and completed a Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University in 2014. Prior to earning her graduate degree, she dedicated more than a decade to direct clinical care and spent four years overseeing program management and administrative functions, including quality and compliance, human resources, and financial reporting.

Monique approaches therapy from an integrative standpoint that honors the whole person. Her work blends person-centered values with cognitive behavioral strategies and relationship-focused techniques, and she draws on a holistic framework that considers physical, emotional, mental, social, cultural, political, and spiritual influences. In practice she aims to create a warm, empathic environment that encourages change while supporting autonomy and freedom of choice.

Within the therapeutic relationship she emphasizes trust, attention to detail, and advocacy for each individual’s decisions. She strives to help people explore difficult or hidden parts of themselves and to support the process of becoming a more authentic self. Monique seeks to be a motivating presence who promotes growth and well-being, and she welcomes inquiries from those interested in beginning therapy.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy

Monique uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide online work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that develop from early relationships; it helps people understand how attachment styles affect their current connections and emotional responses. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own capacity for growth; it is useful for building self-esteem, exploring identity, and creating a nonjudgmental space for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical strategies and skills, and it often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Monique collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so the work remains relevant and effective. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in shaping their care.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or when in-person visits are not feasible. These options support consistent access to therapists and allow people to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
