Monique Murray, LCPC

Monique Murray is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with ten years of practice in Maine. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, depression, relationship struggles, bipolar mood challenges, and major life changes. She meets each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She listens for what is most important to each person and works with them to set clear, doable goals. Sessions tend to focus on small changes that add up over time and on skills people can use between appointments.

Monique also supports people facing a range of related concerns. These include caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, body image worries, commitment and control issues, communication problems, blended family questions, and the strains that come with divorce or separation. She pays attention to how past attachment patterns or personality concerns affect current relationships.

She encourages people to notice small wins and to use strengths they already have. Monique emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her style is calm, direct, and focused on what will help the person feel more able to cope day to day.

To begin, she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on her availability. The subscription system for sessions can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location and therapist availability.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Monique uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and steady progress. One approach centers on skill building for anxiety and stress management - teaching breathing, grounding, and small behavioral steps that reduce overwhelm. Another approach emphasizes coping strategies for addictions and mood shifts, helping people identify triggers and create short-term plans to stay safer and more stable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. That means trying methods, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan over time so it fits daily life.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or transportation limits. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick session is most useful, or reduce the need to travel so a person can use a break in their day more easily. Licensed professionals can help weigh which session rhythm and format will work best for each person.
