About Monet
Monet Hefner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and questions about intimacy and self-esteem. She offers a calm, approachable presence for those feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Her work also includes support around LGBT concerns and codependency.
Monet spent three years in direct clinical practice and holds both a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work from San Diego State University. She describes her style as warm and interactive, aiming to create a nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly about hard things. Sessions focus on practical steps while honoring each person's experience.
Her approach blends client-centered listening with evidence-based tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used when looking at how feelings shape close connections and patterns.
Mindfulness practices are offered to help manage stress and increase present-moment awareness. Motivational Interviewing is used when people feel stuck and want to find their own reasons to change. Monet adapts methods to fit the person in front of her rather than following a rigid plan.
She encourages people who are unsure to take a first step by answering a few questions and scheduling a session. The focus in early meetings is clarity about goals and small, manageable changes. Monet aims to support each person toward more agency and steadier day-to-day coping.
How Monet’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want from therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It breaks big problems into specific patterns to practice small changes and track progress, which can help with anxiety and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and shift emotional patterns that affect close relationships and intimacy. It’s useful when someone wants to change how they respond in important connections. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Monet will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in session. Early meetings typically focus on what matters most and on practical next steps. Confirm the current session options before booking to know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to use mindfulness exercises and CBT homework between sessions to support steady progress.Areas of expertise
