I'm Monique Randle, a licensed therapist and life coach. I help adults who are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or at a crossroads reconnect with themselves and move through life's challenges with more confidence and clarity. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship concerns, burnout, life transitions, or difficulty setting boundaries, therapy can provide a space to sort through what's happening and decide what comes next. My approach is conversational, practical, and collaborative. I believe therapy should be more than talking about problems; it should help you better understand yourself and leave you with strategies you can actually use outside the session. I'll encourage you, challenge you when needed, and support you as you build healthier patterns that fit your life. If you're ready for a therapist who is genuine, direct, and easy to talk to, I'd be honored to be part of your journey.
Starting therapy can bring up a mix of relief and nerves. You may feel excited to finally have someone to talk to while also wondering what to expect. That's completely normal. My goal is to make our first session feel like the beginning of a conversation, not an interrogation. We'll start by talking about what brought you to therapy at this point in your life. Maybe you've been feeling more anxious than usual, struggling with stress, navigating a relationship challenge, adjusting to a major life change, or simply feeling stuck. Whatever brought you here, I want to hear it in your own words. You don't have to organize your thoughts before we meet or have everything figured out. That's what therapy is for. We'll spend time discussing what's been going on recently, how it's affecting your daily life, and what you hope will be different as a result of therapy. Some people come in with clear goals, while others just know something isn't working anymore. Either place is a good place to start. I'll ask questions about different areas of your life so I can better understand the bigger picture. We'll talk about your current relationships, work, support system, and any patterns you've noticed that may be contributing to what you're experiencing. We'll only cover what feels relevant, and you never have to share more than you're comfortable sharing. Building trust takes time, and there's no expectation that you'll tell me everything in one session. Before we finish, we'll begin identifying goals for our work together and discuss what therapy with me typically looks like. My style is collaborative, practical, and interactive. I don't believe therapy is just a place to vent. I'll ask thoughtful questions, offer feedback, help you recognize patterns, and share strategies you can begin using between sessions. My hope is that you leave each appointment with greater clarity and something useful to take with you. The first session is also an opportunity for you to decide whether I feel like the right therapist for you. A strong therapeutic relationship matters, and I encourage you to pay attention to how you feel during our conversation. At the end of the session, we'll talk about next steps, answer any questions you have, and decide together whether moving forward feels like the right fit.
One of the things clients tell me most often is that they appreciate how genuine I am. I believe the best therapy happens when you can be yourself without worrying about being judged or needing to have everything figured out. You don't have to show up with the right words or a perfectly organized story. We'll work through it together. I'm direct, but I'm also compassionate. If I notice you're being harder on yourself than you would be on anyone else, avoiding a difficult conversation, or getting stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, I'll gently point it out. My goal isn't to criticize you. It's to help you see things from a different perspective and support you in making the changes you want. I also believe therapy should be collaborative. You're the expert on your life, and I bring the clinical knowledge and tools to help you better understand what's getting in your way. Together, we'll identify realistic goals, build on your strengths, and find strategies that fit your personality and your life instead of trying to force a one-size-fits-all approach. Clients often tell me they appreciate that therapy with me feels practical. I want our conversations to translate into real life, not stay in the therapy room. Whether we're working on managing anxiety, improving communication, setting healthier boundaries, navigating life transitions, or building self-confidence, my goal is for you to leave sessions with greater clarity and something you can actually apply during the week. Another strength I bring is curiosity. Rather than making assumptions or jumping to conclusions, I want to understand your experiences, your values, and what matters most to you. I ask questions that help us uncover patterns, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and identify solutions that feel authentic to who you are. Most importantly, I believe people are more than the challenges that bring them to therapy. We'll absolutely make space for the difficult moments, but we'll also recognize your strengths, celebrate progress, and build on what's already working. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change.
I work best with women who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or navigating a season of change. They're often used to being the one others rely on, but they've reached a point where they know something needs to shift. They're looking for a therapist who is warm, direct, and practical, someone who will help them better understand themselves, develop healthier patterns, and create meaningful change.

In our sessions, I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you stop fighting your thoughts and start focusing on what matters most to you. Instead of trying to eliminate difficult emotions, we'll work on building flexibility, making room for life's challenges, and taking meaningful action that aligns with your values. The goal isn't to become a different person. It's to help you live more fully as yourself, even when life feels stressful or uncertain.
I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help you identify what's already working and build on your existing strengths. Rather than spending all of our time focused on problems, we'll look for practical solutions, small wins, and realistic next steps that can help you move forward. This approach is especially helpful when you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or navigating a life transition and want strategies you can begin using right away.
I believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important parts of meaningful change. Using a person-centered approach, I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and accepted without judgment. From that foundation, we can explore challenges openly, build self-awareness, and work together toward goals that reflect what matters most to you.
