About Monique
Monique Giannetti, LMSW, helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or parenting challenges. She supports those coping with ADHD, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and compassion fatigue. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at making daily life feel more manageable.
She keeps sessions focused on skills you can use right away. That might mean spotting unhelpful thoughts, planning small routines, or practicing ways to calm down when anger or anxiety spikes.
Background and approach
Monique uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to match tools to a person’s needs. Clients can expect clear goals each week and simple homework between sessions. Monique explains techniques in plain language and checks in about what is working.
She aims to build routines that stick rather than quick fixes that fade. Monique has seven years of clinical experience and holds an LMSW, a licensed master social worker. She practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English.
Her background includes helping people with nontraditional relationship styles and sexual cultures, as well as young adult issues and parenting concerns. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexibility. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session when a time is found.
Monique presents a calm, practical style for people ready to make steady changes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and testing small changes to see what helps. It often targets anxiety, depression, and parenting-related stress by teaching practical skills you can practice between sessions.DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can help people manage strong emotions, reduce reactivity, and learn new ways to respond when relationships or parenting moments become intense.
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying strengths and small steps that lead to measurable change. Sessions concentrate on what clients want to see happen next and on building short-term plans to get there.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist work together to find techniques that fit the person’s needs and daily life.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in, live chat offers quick exchanges during a break, and text-based messaging supports shorter updates between sessions. These options provide flexibility so people can use therapy in ways that match their routines and energy levels.
