About Monique
Monique La Ruth Hart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 17 years of experience. She practices in Florida and focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem, and depression. Monique helps people who feel stuck after loss, frustrated by ongoing tension, or overwhelmed by daily pressures.
Her work centers on clear conversation and practical skills. She draws on client-centered methods so clients lead the topics they want to change. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy for managing intense feelings and impulses.
Monique pays attention to life events that shape emotions. She helps people sort through abandonment and attachment questions, caregiver stress, or the fallout from illness and loss. Sessions look at how communication and control issues affect relationships and day-to-day functioning.
When anger shows up as quick temper, simmering resentment, or trouble letting go, she focuses on what the person does in those moments. That includes identifying triggers, practicing grounding and mindfulness, and building concrete coping steps for the next time strong feelings arise.
Her style is direct and steady. Clients map out small behavioral changes and test them between sessions. Progress is measured in clearer reactions, fewer impulsive responses, and having more choices when stress rises.
Remote sessions and therapeutic approaches
Monique uses Client-Centered Therapy to let the person set the agenda and explore what matters most. That approach is useful when someone needs space to tell their story and decide which problems to address first.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to locate and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. CBT helps with anxiety, low mood, and recurring anger by breaking problems into manageable steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and better interpersonal effectiveness when feelings become intense.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monique will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques based on what helps in practice.
