About Monique
Monique La Ruth Hart is a licensed clinical social worker with 17 years of practice. She works in Florida and focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, anger, and stress. She helps people sort through painful life changes and emotional hurts.
That can mean talking about loss, big changes, or ongoing worry. She also supports those coping with abandonment, attachment struggles, and the emotional strain of caregiving.
Background and approach
Her way of working centers on the person in front of her. She listens without judgment and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Then she helps them try practical strategies to feel steadier day to day.
Monique uses a mix of approaches depending on what someone needs. That can include client-centered work to build trust, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts, dialectical skills for managing intense emotions, and mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity.
She has experience with issues tied to first responder and veteran matters, cancer and its emotional impact, control and communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Her aim is to help people find clearer direction and more reliable ways to cope. People who want a calm, collaborative therapist may find her approach helpful.
She focuses on practical steps and supports each person in choosing what will work best for them.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and helping people feel heard. It emphasizes the person's own goals and strengths and is useful for processing grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress to create practical habits that reduce symptoms over time.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches skills to manage intense emotions and improve emotional regulation. It can be helpful for people who experience strong mood swings, impulsivity, or difficulty tolerating distress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. The plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is low, chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging lets people share between sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule work around daily responsibilities and ongoing stressors.
