Monje Moore, LMHC

Monje Moore is a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 30 years in the field. She meets people where they are and helps them work through anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and jealousy. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aiming to give tools that make daily life more manageable.

She listens first to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on clear goals, small steps, and skills that can be used between meetings. Monje blends talking through problems with concrete strategies to reduce distress and improve communication.

Her background includes a Master’s degree in Counseling and Development from Long Island University and a School Counseling certification. Over three decades she has worked as a clinician, therapeutic counselor, foster parent trainer, parenting skills instructor, school counselor, and school administrator. Those roles inform how she supports people facing complex family and life challenges.

Monje draws on several approaches to shape treatment to each person. She uses client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness and dialectical strategies to manage strong emotions. Attachment-based ideas also guide how she looks at relationship patterns.

Therapy with her is collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps people set realistic goals, practice new skills, and track progress. If you want practical support to handle stress, heal from past hurts, or improve close relationships, she provides steady, experienced guidance.

How certain approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and identify values to guide action. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress, which is helpful for depression, worry, and relationship patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current interactions and can help with intimacy, abandonment concerns, and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monje will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences, then suggest ways of working together. That process is collaborative and adjusted over time to match what helps most.

The therapist's biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins during a hectic week. It also lets people work with a licensed professional from different locations within the same state. If you prefer a particular way of meeting, check available formats when you schedule so sessions match your daily routine and needs.
