About Monique Willett

I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC), a Professional Counselor in the states of North Carolina and South Carolina. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor in North Carolina as well as a Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor Associate, (LCAS-a) and Board Certified, Telemental Health counselor (BC-TMH). I have experience working with adults, adolescents, and children both in individual and group settings. I also have experience working with couples, families and in various settings such as schools. Some clinical issues I have the most experience in include depression, anxiety, and stress management.
A focus in my treatment is establishing a therapeutic relationship with the person first and foremost as I believe having a good connection helps facilitate effective counseling and provides the best outcomes. In therapy, I am supportive, compassionate, and am present with individuals both in times of struggle as well as times of achievement and progress. I make sure to meet each individual where they are at and actively listen to and respect where they would like to see themselves in the future with the help of therapy and skill development.
Working collaboratively with individuals on their treatment goals is a priority throughout treatment and I encourage open communication regarding what therapeutic techniques and approaches work best for the person, to ensure the best therapeutic experience.
My counseling style combines strength-based, cognitive-behavioral, and solution-focused approaches to help individuals achieve their therapeutic goals. Identifying one’s strengths and coping skills that can be used to help work through various issues is an important part of my therapy approach.
I truly value each individual therapeutic relationship and fully empathize with the different emotions a client may experience throughout treatment. I believe that each individual has the ability to overcome struggles but that sometimes-having additional support in the form of therapy can help one to better identify and recognize the coping skills and strengths they already possess.
You have taken the first step in creating a healthier, happier you and I would be honored to help you in that journey!

“I am so glad Better Help paired me with Dr. Monique.”

“When I first met Miss Monique, she was very polite very very kind. She’s a good listener and she make sure you have everything that you need to continue the process with her she laid down her rules, which are very good. She explains her boundaries and make sure that you understand what your boundaries are. I would definitely recommend Miss Monique to any of my friends or family members that’s how good I see her as a therapy towards me.

“It’s not quite a full month yet, but I am grateful of the service provided from Mrs.Monique. Very professional and I believe she adapts to the vibe of who her client may be, for she felt very chill, like a family member with no judgment. I love that she listens and at any time I asked a question, she had “homework” for it. I 10/10 recommend .”

“Ive been with Mrs Willet for a year this week! I enjoy our times together because she actively listens and provides great feedback.
