About Monique
Monique Rourk is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, and mood concerns with a calm and down-to-earth manner. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Her style is compassionate and nonjudgmental. She centers sessions on what a person wants to achieve and talks through options together. Sometimes therapy is mostly talk and processing.
Background and approach
Other times it focuses on practical skills for coping and behavior change. Monique uses an integrative approach with strong emphasis on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing when those tools fit the goals.
Her aim is to help people build self-awareness and practical skills to reduce emotional distress. She often supports people dealing with trauma, depression, relationship strain, grief, intimacy concerns, and ADHD-related struggles. She also addresses issues such as body image, abandonment and attachment concerns, codependency, and substance use.
Monique holds a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and holds licensure as an LMHC and an LPC. She practices in Michigan and brings two decades of experience to sessions. Her work focuses on helping people stabilize, develop coping strategies, and pursue more satisfying lives.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It creates space for people to set their own goals and move at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective patterns. It is useful for stress, anxiety, mood problems, and anger-related habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication, which can help when strong feelings or impulsive actions get in the way.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means combining talk, skills practice, and problem-solving in ways that make sense for the individual.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversational work and practicing skills with visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for short updates, between-session support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied day-to-day situations.
