About Monique
Monique Templeton Poe is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with eight years of clinical experience. She helps adults who are feeling stuck by focusing on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, low self-esteem, and depression. Monique also works with people who want help with communication problems, forgiveness, self-love, and questions about life purpose.
Her style treats the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying strengths, and trying practical steps that fit daily life. She aims to make the work straightforward so people can test what helps and what does not.
Monique's background includes steady practice in California over several years with a range of mood and relationship concerns. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and practical exercises. The emphasis is on skills that people can use between sessions to reduce stress and improve interactions with others.
People often come for help after a job change, a shift in a relationship, or a period of reduced motivation. Monique offers a calm, direct approach that keeps sessions focused on what matters next. She encourages small changes that build momentum and clearer decision making.

Approach-driven online sessions and practical tools
Monique uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. Cognitive-style approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of responding; these methods help with anxiety, low mood, and decisions about work or relationships. Skill-building and communication-focused work teaches specific interaction skills and conflict-handling steps that people can try between sessions to improve family or relationship dynamics.Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Monique will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use based on current concerns, goals, and what feels most useful in day-to-day life. That collaborative process helps keep sessions relevant and focused on next steps rather than vague plans.

Many people find virtual sessions help maintain continuity after life changes and let them practice new skills in the contexts where they live and work.
