About Monique
Monique Rourk, LMHC, LPC, helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, anger, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and codependency. Her style is down-to-earth and approachable, and she aims to make sessions feel relaxed and focused on your goals.
She works collaboratively with each person to set goals and choose how to reach them. Sessions may be talk-focused or include skill-building work, depending on what feels most useful. Monique emphasizes practical coping skills, emotional stability, and clearer problem solving so daily life feels more manageable.
Monique uses an integrative approach with strong emphasis on client-centered care and cognitive behavioral therapy. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing when helpful. The methods are adapted to the individual rather than applied the same way to everyone.
With 20 years in the counseling field and a master’s degree in mental health counseling, she brings a wide range of hands-on experience. She aims to help people develop self-awareness, self-respect, and a reasonable life philosophy that reduces self-defeating patterns.
Monique practices in Michigan and applies a holistic perspective that looks at all parts of a person’s life. She encourages people to be active participants in therapy and to work together on plans that feel realistic and sustainable.
How her approaches translate to online work
Monique uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where people lead the direction of sessions and set their own goals. This approach helps when someone needs a place to talk through feelings, make sense of choices, and decide what change looks like for them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many mood or coping difficulties because it links thoughts, feelings, and actions in clear steps.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills provide practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. These skills can be helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or when better ways of handling conflict are needed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then tailor methods and activities to fit those needs in a collaborative way.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, require less travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and behavioral practice so therapy fits everyday life without requiring a long commute.
