About Monique
Monique Franklin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, depression, anxiety, grief, and anger. She also supports those facing parenting stress, career challenges, and coping with life changes.
Monique uses direct, practical conversations to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that feed frustration and resentment. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals and try new ways of responding in the moment.
Sessions include skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and repairing relationships. She pays attention to issues like guilt, shame, and forgiveness as they come up. Her work often aims to reduce reactive responses and build clearer ways to express needs.
Monique brings 11 years of experience working with trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, and self-esteem concerns. She discusses concrete steps people can take between sessions, such as short behavior experiments and communication practice. That way progress is measured in everyday life, not just conversation.
She describes cultural awareness as part of her approach and acknowledges how background shapes anger and family expectations. People who prefer straightforward guidance and practical tools may find this style a good fit.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Monique commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to change patterns that increase anger or anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear goals and small practical steps to change how a person responds day to day.She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. Together the client and therapist decide which methods fit the client’s goals and preferences, then adjust as progress is tracked. That way the work evolves around what actually helps in everyday life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when a full hour isn’t needed, and reduce travel time. A therapist can also suggest practice tasks that fit into work or caregiving routines, such as brief behavior experiments and communication exercises to try between sessions.
