I am very grateful that Monique is working with me. I have had 2 sessions with her so far and she is professional and approachable. She is helping me set goals and develop healthier behaviors and is willing to challenge my thought processes. I wasn't really able to articulate what I needed going into the first session and she was very perceptive and determined what we should work on first.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I love her she is such a great therapist she. Doesn't tell me what I want to hear but what I need to hear
Monique has been a wonderful therapist. My life situation included a lot of details and context that needed to be kept up with in order to make sense of things. She was able to truly listen to me and keep track of everything to help me make sense of it all and support me through making some major changes that I needed to make in my life. 10/10 Would recommend!
I love her soooo much. She’s helped me so much. Very grateful
Monique has been wonderful so far!
My therapist has helped me through my process of leaving my abusive marriage. Monique is encouraging & gives great insights and feedback.

Great
She is attentive to my needs and let's me speak thoroughly
Monique has a unique, way of helping me-she is very quick to see things in me that I didn't recognize and her funny and insightful way of helping has made me much lighter and more confident :-)
Very easy to talk to and highly attentive. She is not in a hurry and allows time for clients to fully express their thoughts, feelings, and opinions. Provides excellent feedback and suggestions.
Monique is excellent. She's very patient and caring. Never in a rush.
Hears me, and responds with respectful and helpful information.
She is one of the first therapist to ever understand me
Monique takes her time to listen & understand client's needs and concerns & is respectful in voicing her concerns or objectives.
She's literally the best and I've made progress. I feel so safe with her. She really listens to you.
I have seen several therapists, and after losing my health insurance, I tried BetterHelp for the first time a few months ago and was paired with Monique. She is PHENOMENAL. She is direct in the most caring way, and she's the first therapist I've ever talked to who I honestly felt was being honest and straightforward with me. I trusted her right away, and she continues to work with me and support me in the hard work required for changing and growing.
She is amazing. She fully listens to my problems and helps me understand how I am feeling. She’s considerate about my feelings, but will always let me know when she thinks I need a change. She’s awesome
She is great. She listen and gives good advice. Thank you .
Monique is an excellent therapist! She’s very knowledgeable and also very understanding.
A phenomenal therapist! Felt extremely comfortable to open up about anything, and she’s extremely helpful. This was my first therapy experience via virtual and at first I was a little reluctant to indulge, but I can say the experience is well worth it.
I've had several sessions with Monique and have felt heard and that is what is important right now. She's been insightful and asked good questions. I recommend!
She is great. She makes me feel like I matter. I feel better after talking to her.
Monique is a great listener and very accommodating. You can tell she really cares. She is non judgmental, which is huge for me! I am happy with her.
So so understanding. Monique lets you open up and I feel free when talking. I feel very supported and Monique is very patient when listening to me. After every session, I feel like I have gained something positive!
Awesome, She’s like your favorite Aunt
Monique is amazing-very responsive, very kind and supportive. She challenges me when I say things that are motivated by my self-denigrating patterns and helps me to see things in a different light. She is helping me for sure!!
Monique is very kind, thoughtful and thorough. She actively listens in a way that makes you feel heard, and responds with feedback that you are able to apply right away to improving your overall quality of life. Her expertise and years of experience shine through in her assessment and recommendations. She tailors the session to truly create an individualized, quality experience that creates an environment of comfort and safety which allows you to speak freely and openly. Thank you for everything, Monique!
Skillful and very responsive person.
Monique and I have just started working together but already I feel that she has identified areas of myself that need attention. I appreciate her approach and way that she provides insight, evaluates, and supports me through this experience. I look forward to continue working with her.
Monique is such a good listener. When talking to her I feel supported and her advice makes me feel good about any situation I talk about.
Grateful to have met Doctor Monique Goodson-Johnson. This is my first ever therapy and she has helped me a lot in what I am going through. Very positive and supportive, it’s like talking to family or a best friend. I’ve been given great advice worthy for a lifetime. Thank you ever so much for easing my anxiety making my life better.
She’s very nice and helpful. She listens and gives good advice. I’m very grateful for her support.
She’s great, she listens and always checks in on me! I appreciate her!
Monique has really helped me get a hold of my anxiety and provide a new perspective to things that seem overwhelming/un achievable. My life is much more calm and controlled now.
She listens to what you have to say and makes sure that she understands what your telling her even though I’ve only had 4 sessions she has helped me lots
Monique is a great listener, accomodating and knowledgeable on a lot of different topics i have brought to our sessions. She is easy to talk to and we seem to share a lot of the same beliefs and views
I really like how she listens. I know I can take time to talk about my issues but she provides talking points without interrupting, and I really appreciate that. I've seen counselors in the past and I feel like, compared to them, speaking to Monique, I didn't have to think about judgment. I appreciate the positive reinforcement. God bless you, Monique.
She is such a great Therapist. I know I have a lot of problems in my life but she was still extremely patient and helpful.
She’s simply awesome.
When I first met Monique I was in a terrible place. I was dealing with a lot of past trauma that was destroying my relationship and personal self-esteem. Monique helped me discover some good things about myself that helped me gain love for myself . She taught me skills to deal with intense emotions and helped me identify some negative thought patterns that were causing me to do irrational things . She helped me find myself again ! With the skills I learned from her, I was able to save my relationship and make it better! She was there for me anytime I needed her. I could message her questions anytime and she always got back to me . Monique is more than a therapist, she was very kind and always very helpful. I feel very grateful for all the skills I learned from her and I will always think of her first if I find myself needing a therapist in the future. I would highly recommend Monique to anyone seeking help She is an awesome person and I'm happy I met her Thank you Monique, you get a 5 star
Very helpful and understanding
Literally amazing. Best therapist ever. She didn't make me tell my whole life story over again for the 90th time! So thankful to have Monique!
She listens and understands. She also gives great advice and feedback.
Monique is kind, understanding and has a way of speaking to you that is extremely calming. She is helpful and encouraging, and has already made a difference in my day to day life. I would recommend her expertise again and again. Thanks Monique!
Monique is the best
Monique is so understanding and helpful.
Monique is an attentive, intuitive, and patient listener. She created the space for me to share through my overwhelm and anxiety. Through her feedback and guidance, I was able to process my grief, release overwhelm and set new boundaries. I highly recommend Monique.
Monique is a great person and a wonderful therapist, she listens attentive and make sure you are heard. I've always left a session with her feeling more happy and confident in myself.
So far, Monique Goodson-Johnson has been very attentive and professional. I am still warming up to therapy and still feeling it out and trying to decide if I want to continue, but that is a personal choice and has nothing to do with her. I would feel completely comfortable continuing with her and even recommending her to others.
She's flexible, reliable and ready to help!
I had my first therapy session with Ms. Goodson-Johnson and she was wonderful. We touched on a broad range of issues, I didn’t feel rushed, she listened, and provided helpful feedback and guidance. I felt like it was a very cathartic session and ended feeling much lighter just after one session. Highly recommend. I look forward to our future sessions.
