About Monique
Monique Franklin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience based in Indiana. She helps people manage depression, anxiety, stress, grief, relationship and family concerns, and trauma-related issues.
Monique uses practical strategies to address thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that get in the way of daily life. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques to set clear goals and test small changes. Sessions are straightforward and aim to build skills that can be used between meetings.
She also works on self-esteem, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and the strain caregivers often carry. Communication problems and family conflict are areas she addresses with structured methods for clearer interaction and problem solving. Career stress and coping with life changes are included in her practice.
Monique brings attention to cultural context and the lived experience of people of color when discussing identity and relationships. This informs how she and a client look at patterns and reactions that come from background and culture.
Her style focuses on collaboration and practical steps rather than abstract theory. Clients can expect goal-setting, skill practice, and periodic review of progress to see what is working and what to adjust.
How her approaches translate to online work
Monique uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions focus on concrete skills - identifying thought patterns, trying different responses, and practicing new habits between meetings.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to build short-term goals and highlight small changes that lead to noticeable improvement. That method concentrates on practical steps and what a client wants to see happen next rather than long reviews of the past.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to decide whether CBT, solution-focused techniques, or a mix makes the most sense based on goals and preferences. This is a collaborative decision made early and reviewed over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, shorten a check-in when time is limited, or avoid travel. Licensed professionals often adapt tools and worksheets for virtual use so practical skill-building can continue between sessions.
