Dr. Monique Holsey-Hyman, LCSW-R

Dr. Monique Holsey-Hyman is a licensed clinical social worker with the LCSW-R credential and two decades of practice in New York. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and anxiety and to address parenting and family tensions. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, aimed at people who want clear, usable steps forward.

She offers short, focused conversations that help people identify what matters most to them. Sessions look at communication patterns, anger and self-esteem concerns, and how caregiver stress or life transitions affect day-to-day functioning. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, and the emotional strains that can come with pregnancy and childbirth.

Her style is warm and interactive. She listens without labels and tailors discussion to each person's needs and goals. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are part of the tools she draws on to prompt realistic change and to build practical plans.

Dr. Holsey-Hyman helps people notice small shifts that add up over time. She supports work on forgiveness, guilt, isolation, money stress, and finding renewed purpose in midlife. The tone in sessions is collaborative and oriented toward solving immediate problems while also addressing deeper patterns.

People who prefer candid conversation and concrete steps are likely to find her approach helpful. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set achievable next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses questions and reflections to build motivation and clarify personal goals, which can help with issues like anger, low self-esteem, and caregiver burnout. Solution-Focused Therapy directs the conversation toward practical changes and small, achievable steps. It helps identify what already works and how to do more of it, which can be useful for parenting challenges, stress, and short-term goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying different ways of working and adjusting plans based on what helps most.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, like scheduling a short check-in during a break or avoiding commute time. It can also allow sessions to continue when routines change, while keeping the focus on practical problem solving and steady progress.
