About Monique

LMFT in California with 8 years of clinical experience, Monique Templeton Poe focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. She also supports people working on self-esteem, motivation, confidence, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English. Monique frames clients as experts in their own stories and builds on existing strengths to address challenges.

Her work centers on practical conversation and problem solving. She listens for patterns that keep stress and anxiety active. Then she helps people try different ways of responding to relationship or family conflict. She uses straightforward strategies aimed at clearer communication and improved day-to-day coping.

Monique guides people through steps that strengthen self-worth and motivation. This can include focusing on small, manageable changes and practicing new ways of talking to others. These steps are practical and paced to each person’s needs.

When clients bring questions about forgiveness or life purpose, she supports them in talking through values, choices, and next steps. She treats those topics as parts of a larger effort to improve mood and relationships. Sessions attend to both immediate problems and longer-term goals.

She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before the first appointment and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted.

How her approaches translate to online work

Monique describes her work as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on stress, anxiety, relationships, and self-esteem. One approach emphasizes practical problem solving - identifying unhelpful patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood. This helps with day-to-day coping and motivation. Another approach focuses on communication skills - practicing clearer ways to speak and listen in relationships so conflict becomes easier to manage. That work is useful for family and relationship concerns.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Monique will discuss goals and try methods that fit a person's needs and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time based on what helps and what does not, and she encourages regular review of progress.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or childcare commitments and supports check-ins without travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited or sessions where video is not required if that is preferred. Confirm current session options when you sign up so scheduling fits your everyday life.
