About Monique
Monique Dildy is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, LGBT-related issues, family conflict, anger, and self-esteem. She also focuses on topics including kink and alternative sexual cultures, codependency, commitment struggles, forgiveness, guilt and shame, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and sexuality.
Monique uses straightforward conversation to clarify what feels stuck. Sessions are practical and focused on what matters now. She listens for patterns that keep the same painful feelings repeating, then helps people test new ways of responding.
Her work often addresses how shame or guilt affects relationships and choices. She helps people name the specific thoughts and behaviors that follow those feelings. From there she offers small steps to change those patterns and to repair what people want to mend.
Monique adapts the pace to each person. Some people work on short-term goals like managing anger or anxiety. Others look at longer-term issues such as identity, sexuality, or relationship structure. She aims to keep sessions practical and understandable.
Her background includes five years of professional practice in Tennessee under the LPC-MHSP credential. People who choose her can expect clear communication about goals and next steps. To begin they complete a brief questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How therapeutic approaches and online work come together
The profile indicates use of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common evidence-based approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns to ease anxiety and persistent guilt. This approach breaks down stressful thoughts into concrete pieces and tests them with real-life behavior changes. Another useful approach addresses behavior patterns in relationships, helping people notice repeated interactions that feed shame or codependency and practice different, clearer responses. That work often helps with commitment issues, polyamory concerns, and sexual boundary questions.Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist will review a person’s goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit those targets. Sessions include checking whether a method is helping and adjusting the plan as needed.
The profile does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let someone speak without commuting. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work between meetings, so progress can continue during ordinary days.
