About Monique
LMFT (California) with 12 years of clinical experience. Monique Hicks focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. She works with issues around communication, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions of life purpose. Sessions are conducted in English and based in California.
Hicks begins by listening to what feels most urgent. She aims to understand the events and patterns that contribute to distress. Conversations lead to practical steps that can reduce symptoms and make daily life feel more manageable.
Her approach centers on collaboration. Monique and the person she works with set goals together and adjust plans as needs evolve. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma responses, persistent anxiety, and complicated grief.
Work in sessions often involves naming emotions, tracking how thoughts and behaviors connect, and practicing new communication strategies. She pays attention to shame and guilt, and helps people find ways to repair relationships with themselves and others where possible.
Throughout care she emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes. She encourages small, concrete changes that fit into everyday life. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details to make sure they match practical needs.

How evidence-based work appears in online sessions
Monique uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. For example, she may use interventions that help people recognize and change unhelpful thought patterns to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. These approaches teach skills for managing worry and shifting behaviors that keep problems going.She also addresses trauma-related reactions by helping people track triggers, bodily responses, and meaning tied to difficult events. The goal is to reduce overwhelming reactions and increase a sense of control in everyday situations. A third common element is grief-focused support, which helps people process loss, organize memories, and find ways to carry on with daily responsibilities.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which techniques to try based on symptoms, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking progress and adjusting methods when needed.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular meetings and to build therapeutic skills into ordinary routines.
