About Monique
Dr. Monique Holsey-Hyman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Registered (LCSW-R) practicing in New York with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, anger, and self-esteem. She also addresses related issues such as abandonment, attachment, body image, caregiver stress, and communication problems.
She keeps sessions direct and practical. She listens for what is causing repeated patterns of anger or resentment. She helps people name what they want to change, and then looks for small, doable steps to try between meetings. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what the person can try next.
Her stated approaches include Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means sessions often center on setting clear goals, recognizing what motivates change, and building on what already works. Expect a focus on short-term, measurable progress rather than long lectures or long-term theory talks.
Dr. Holsey-Hyman’s background in higher education gives extra experience working with young adults and the stresses common to school and early careers. She draws on that experience when people bring concerns about midlife transitions, parenting strains, money worries, or life-purpose questions.
People come to her for practical ways to handle anger, reduce tense reactions, and improve communication. She also works with issues that commonly sit alongside anger, such as guilt, control struggles, isolation, and forgiveness.
How her approaches shape online sessions
Motivational Interviewing focuses on identifying what a person wants to change and what matters to them. It uses guided conversation to strengthen motivation and find personal reasons to try new behavior. This approach can help with frustration at work, parenting conflicts, or stopping reactive patterns.Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clear, short-term goals and practical steps. Sessions look for exceptions and past successes, then build small experiments to repeat those successes. That style is useful for people who want quick, action-oriented work on anger or communication problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion happens early and can change as progress is made.
