About Monet
Monet Hefner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem difficulties, and LGBT-related issues. Monet also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care, abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and other life strains.
Her way of working centers on the person in front of her. Sessions are practical and interactive. Monet uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect, and mixes techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when helpful.
Monet trained in social work at San Diego State University, earning both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in social work. She has three years of direct clinical practice experience in a clinical setting and has worked with a wide range of concerns from trauma to first responder stress.
In session she draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing alongside narrative approaches. That means conversations often include focused skill practice, attention to patterns of thought and feeling, and exploration of personal stories that shape current struggles.
People who come to her often have practical goals - reducing anxiety, managing stress, improving intimacy, or sorting through past hurts. She asks about current needs and preferences, then adapts methods so sessions are useful and clear. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Monet often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what matters to the client so they feel understood and clearer about next steps. This approach is helpful when someone wants straightforward, respectful conversation about painful feelings.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT includes practical exercises and short skill practice that can reduce anxious thinking and improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monet will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and what shows up in sessions. That means trying a few techniques and adjusting as needed rather than committing to one path from the start.
