Monje Moore , LMHC

Monje Moore is a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with more than 30 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges. She earned a Master’s degree in Counseling and Development from Long Island University and holds a School Counseling certification, bringing clinical training and education experience to her work.

Across a diverse career as a clinician, therapeutic counselor, foster parent trainer, parenting skills instructor, school counselor, and school administrator, she has developed a broad perspective on developmental stages, family systems, and the practical needs of clients at different life points. That background informs a practical, strengths-based approach that balances insight with tools for everyday coping.

Monje works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and blended family concerns, ADHD and neurodevelopmental challenges, stress, anger, and career transitions. She also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care dynamics, communication and commitment difficulties, guilt and shame, and compassion fatigue.

Her practice blends client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral techniques, schema and mindfulness work, dialectical behavior strategies, and solution-focused interventions. Therapy is collaborative and tailored to each person’s goals, with an emphasis on practical skills that support greater balance, resilience, and improved relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and building practical skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes by teaching strategies for managing thoughts, emotions, and actions.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns in close relationships and emotional responses. It can help people understand difficulties with intimacy, abandonment fears, and family dynamics, and supports more secure ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps the person access their own strengths and solutions. This approach supports self-esteem, adjustment to transitions, and personal growth by creating a collaborative, nonjudgmental space.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the process. Monje Moore works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and licensed professionals can adjust strategies as therapy progresses.

Online options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and integrate therapeutic work into a busy life.
