About Monique
Dr. Monique Holsey-Hyman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-R) based in New York with twenty years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, family conflict, anger, and self-esteem.
She aims to make each conversation straightforward and useful for busy parents weighing many demands. Her approach is warm and interactive. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small steps that fit daily life.
She avoids stigmatizing labels and listens first to understand what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Dr. Holsey-Hyman uses techniques that help people build motivation and identify immediate solutions. That means working on what feels doable now, whether the need is better communication, managing anger, or handling caregiver stress.
She also addresses issues like attachment, guilt and shame, body image, and money worries when they affect daily functioning. Her background includes long experience in New York practice settings and work related to higher education. That experience informs how she supports clients juggling work, school, and family responsibilities.
She explains steps plainly and helps people try short experiments between sessions. People who prefer a collaborative, goal-focused style often find this helpful. The work is practical - setting achievable goals, trying new ways of responding, and reviewing progress.
Dr. Holsey-Hyman meets people where they are and helps plan realistic next steps.

Approaches that guide online parenting support
Dr. Holsey-Hyman draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their own reasons for change. This approach uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation and set personally meaningful goals, which can help with things like managing anger or sticking to new parenting routines.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to zero in on small, concrete steps that produce visible change. That method looks for existing strengths and past successes, then builds quick experiments to try between sessions to improve communication or reduce stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasize motivation, practical solutions, or a mix of techniques depending on what matters most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues for interactive work, phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports quick check-ins or brief coaching during a busy week. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into parenting schedules and daily life.
