About Monet
Monet Hefner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and intimacy-related challenges. She emphasizes a supportive, person-centered approach that aims to meet each client where they are and adapt interventions to fit individual needs.
Background and approach
Monet combines practical strategies with attentive listening to help clients explore self-esteem concerns and issues related to LGBT identity. Her clinical work draws on evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to address patterns of thought, relational dynamics, and emotional regulation.
With three years of clinical experience, she has also worked with a range of additional concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image, codependency, communication difficulties, and family stressors.
Monet presents a warm, interactive style and aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can feel heard and begin to make changes at their own pace.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration; it focuses on understanding a person’s perspective and creating space for self-exploration, which can be especially helpful for building trust and clarifying values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and stress, and it often uses concrete exercises that adapt well to virtual sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets the emotions that underlie relationship patterns and personal distress, helping people to name, process, and shift emotional responses to improve connections and self-regulation.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to clarify goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what feels most effective and comfortable for that person. This collaborative stance helps tailor treatment to individual needs rather than assuming a one-size-fits-all solution.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from familiar surroundings. These formats support ongoing work between sessions, allow for different communication styles, and make it possible to continue consistent therapy even when in-person visits are not feasible.
