Dr. Monique Holsey-Hyman

Dr. Monique Holsey-Hyman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-R) based in New York with about 20 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, family concerns, parenting challenges, anger, and self-esteem problems. Her approach is warm and interactive and she aims to make it easier for people to take the first steps toward change.

She builds conversations around each person’s real life. Sessions use straightforward language and practical questions rather than labels. The therapist pays attention to what matters most to the client and adjusts the pace and focus to match their needs.

Dr. Holsey-Hyman often draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to set realistic goals. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to highlight strengths and create small, concrete steps that add up over time. These methods are commonly used for stress, anger, and life transitions.

Her work includes attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, communication and control issues, guilt and shame, loneliness, and life purpose. She also addresses money worries, pregnancy and childbirth questions, and women’s issues when those topics come up in sessions.

People who prefer a respectful, collaborative style tend to do well with her. She aims to offer straightforward support without judgment and to help clients move from stuck patterns to clearer choices and small wins.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Dr. Holsey-Hyman uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that translate well to remote work. Motivational Interviewing starts with gentle questions to help someone clarify their own reasons for change and to build commitment one step at a time. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small experiments that aim to produce visible improvement fast, which can be useful for stress, anger, and goal-setting.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try techniques that fit the situation, and adjust the plan together as progress is made. The emphasis is on working with what already helps the person and on building doable habits.

Details about session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow brief check-ins on a workday, and reduce the time spent traveling. These practical benefits often help people stay consistent and apply what they discuss in session to everyday situations.
