Monique Parr , LCMHC

Monique Parr is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina, holding license number NC LCMHC 13017. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Sociology from Fayetteville State University in 2004 and later completed a Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University in 2014. The LCMHC credential indicates specialized training and authorization to provide clinical mental health counseling in the state.

Since completing her education, Monique has dedicated her career to mental health services. She has extensive hands-on experience in direct care and has also spent years overseeing program operations, including program management, quality and compliance and risk management, human resources responsibilities, and financial reporting. This combination of clinical and administrative work informs a practical, systems-aware perspective in her practice.

Monique approaches therapy from a holistic, person-centered, cognitive behavioral, transtheoretical, and relationship-oriented framework. She focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship that supports change while honoring each person’s autonomy and choices. Her role is to motivate for growth, advocate for clients, and attend to the physical, emotional, mental, social, cultural, political, and spiritual dimensions that shape a person’s life.

Clients can expect an environment characterized by warmth, empathic understanding, genuineness, and acceptance. Monique aims to help people explore difficult or hidden parts of themselves and to encourage the development of an authentic, self-directed life. She looks forward to hearing from those seeking thoughtful, person-focused support.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Monique draws from attachment-based work to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses - this approach helps people address issues like attachment wounds, intimacy difficulties, and patterns of abandonment or avoidance. She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and support so clients can clarify values and make self-directed changes in a nonjudgmental therapeutic atmosphere. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another cornerstone of her practice; CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build practical coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Monique works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She tailors the work over time, blending approaches as necessary to support meaningful progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent support around work, family, and daily life commitments. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain therapeutic continuity, adapt to changing schedules, and provide timely interventions when challenges arise.
