Dr. Monique Holsey-Hyman

Dr. Monique Holsey-Hyman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-R) practicing in New York. She has two decades of professional experience and works with people facing stress, anxiety, family concerns, parenting challenges, anger, and self-esteem issues. She also focuses on related areas such as body image, attachment and abandonment, caregiver strain, and women's issues.

Her approach is warm and interactive. Sessions use conversation to identify small, practical steps clients can try between meetings. She avoids labels and centers respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the room.

Dr. Holsey-Hyman blends Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy methods to help people clarify goals and find what motivates change. That means short-term goal setting, exploring personal motivations, and tracking what works in everyday life.

She has worked in higher education settings and brings experience supporting young adults and people navigating life transitions. Her style is collaborative - she listens, asks questions, and tailors the plan to each person’s needs.

People who value straightforward conversation and practical steps often find this approach useful. To begin, readers are invited to follow the Start Therapy path on the site and complete the matching questionnaire to schedule sessions.

How her approaches guide online work

Motivational Interviewing focuses on what matters most to the person. It involves gentle questions that help bring personal reasons for change into focus, which can be helpful for issues like anxiety, avoidance, or making lifestyle changes.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and on what is already working. Sessions often set short-term goals and test tiny changes to build momentum for larger shifts in behavior and thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with each person to decide which method or mix fits best based on goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. A flexible, goal-focused plan can be carried out over remote sessions when that format matches a person’s needs.
