Monje Moore

Monje Moore is a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 30 years of experience. She offers calm, straightforward support for people dealing with anger, anxiety, depression, grief, and everyday stress. She aims to help clients find practical ways to feel steadier and more in control.

Monje helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, and major life changes. She also addresses trauma and abuse, attachment and abandonment concerns, and issues related to adoption and foster care. Her work includes support for self-esteem, intimacy-related struggles, impulsivity, and compassion fatigue.

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. These roles inform a practical, real-world approach.

Monje uses several evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. In sessions she focuses on skills, concrete strategies, and clear goals rather than theory alone.

Therapy with her is collaborative. She listens first, then helps people choose tools that fit their life. Clients work on small, manageable changes that add up to better day-to-day functioning.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, and life transitions when you want clearer goals and steady progress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It often includes homework and concrete skills useful for stress, depression, and relationship issues.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help with impulsivity, strong anger, and relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monje will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She tailors sessions so skills and strategies match day-to-day needs rather than applying a single method to every situation.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins when that works better. Talk with the therapist about what will fit into your routine and how sessions can support steady progress.
