About Monique
Dr. Monique Holsey-Hyman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-R) based in New York with 20 years of experience. She focuses on everyday pressures such as stress, anxiety, parenting strain, family conflict, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Her approach is warm and interactive and aims to help people take practical steps toward feeling better.
She uses plain talk and respectful listening to help people name what matters most to them. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small changes that add up over time. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy often guide the work, helping clients find motivation and build workable strategies.
Dr. Holsey-Hyman pays attention to how relationships and life transitions affect wellbeing. She supports people coping with attachment and abandonment worries, caregiver stress, communication problems, and issues around forgiveness, guilt, or shame. She also addresses money stress, life purpose questions, body image, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and women’s health matters.
Her style is collaborative rather than prescriptive. She avoids labels that feel stigmatizing and instead tailors conversations and plans to each person’s situation. That means sessions can include direct problem-solving, goal setting, and practical tools to use between meetings.
Practical matters are part of the process too. Cost varies with location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability using the Start Therapy button.
How Dr. Holsey-Hyman’s Approaches Work Online
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation and resolve mixed feelings about next steps. This approach can be useful for issues like low motivation, procrastination, and shifting habits.Solution-Focused Therapy looks for what already works and builds on it. Sessions concentrate on small, concrete goals and practical steps that move daily life forward. It is often chosen for stress, time management, parenting challenges, and short-term problem solving.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to lean more on motivational work, solution-focused techniques, or a blend that fits the situation.
