About Monique
Monique Yelder is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker in Michigan with four years of clinical mental health experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, anger, and LGBT concerns, and additionally notes work with forgiveness, loneliness, life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.

Monique emphasizes a person-centered, strength-based way of working. She helps people name practical goals and then breaks those goals into small steps. Sessions are collaborative and built around an open professional relationship. She aims to help individuals recognize their own resources and use those strengths to make changes.
Her training includes a clinical social work degree from Wayne State University, and she practices with the LMSW credential. She offers evening and weekend hours to fit sessions into a busy schedule. The profile notes a private practice setting where appointments are scheduled to match a client’s needs.
In sessions she focuses on clear problem solving, building coping skills, and supporting clients as they test new ways of handling social situations and stress. Treatment planning is practical and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on real-life application between sessions. This includes working on confidence, reducing avoidance, and improving mood.
Monique uses professional relationship building and collaboration to guide work on whatever concern brought a person to therapy. People who want straightforward, step-by-step support for anxiety, mood, and self-esteem issues may find her approach easy to follow.
How her approaches translate to online work
Monique describes her work as evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping and behavior change. Person-centered work means sessions start with what matters most to the client and use conversation to build goals and steps for change. That style helps with social anxiety by identifying small, doable actions to try between sessions.She also uses strength-based methods that name a person’s existing resources and then apply those strengths to new situations. This typically looks like noticing what has helped before and planning how to use those skills in social settings, stressful moments, or when managing mood changes.
Finding the right way to work is part of the process. The therapist and client decide together which techniques fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision-making means methods can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or family time, allow shorter check-ins when days are busy, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist when scheduling to match session length and timing to the client’s routine.
