“The best way out is always through.” - Robert Frost

Monje Moore is a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with more than 30 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting challenges, and major life transitions. She holds a Master’s degree in Counseling and Development from Long Island University and a School Counseling certification, and her background includes roles as a clinician, therapeutic counselor, foster parent trainer, parenting skills instructor, school counselor, and school administrator. That varied experience informs a perspective that considers many stages of life and multiple family dynamics.

Monje works with people facing a wide range of concerns, including PTSD and trauma-related issues, dissociation, neurodevelopmental challenges, stress tied to relationships and life changes, grief, intimacy difficulties, and compassion fatigue. Her practice attends to both individual and family needs, addressing topics such as self-esteem, anger, career concerns, ADHD, and the complexities of blended families, adoption, and attachment issues.

Her approach blends person-centered and interpersonal principles with practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral methods, schema work, mindfulness, dialectical behavior therapy, and solution-focused techniques. Therapy is collaborative and tailored to each person’s goals, emphasizing not only insight but also concrete tools to build resilience, strengthen relationships, and improve daily functioning. Monje aims to create a safe, supportive, and personal space where clients can be heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Therapy

Monje Moore draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to tailor care to each person’s needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and supporting a person’s own capacity for growth - it is helpful for building self-esteem and repairing relationships. CBT emphasizes identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, a practical approach for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work between therapist and client. Monje will explore a client’s goals, preferences, and life context to determine which combination of methods fits best, adjusting the plan over time as needs change.

Online therapy with licensed professionals and therapists offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and other responsibilities, and support continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult. Monje integrates therapeutic techniques into these formats to help clients build skills, process experiences, and make progress toward their goals.
