About Monriel
Monriel Harbison is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She focuses on helping people who struggle with anxiety, depression, anger, stress, and ADHD. Her style is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental so people can feel heard while they work on practical change.
Monriel uses straightforward strategies to help with overwhelming emotions and sleep trouble. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice new ways of coping so that distress becomes more manageable.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build day-to-day skills rather than only talking about problems. Her background includes four years as a licensed therapist and broader experience in the mental health field before licensure. That experience shapes a down-to-earth approach to problems like mood struggles, compassion fatigue, and addictions.
She listens for what matters most and tailors interventions to the person in front of her. In practice she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These approaches are used to teach emotion regulation, improve communication, and set realistic goals for change.
Monriel supports people working on self-esteem, career concerns, relationship stress, and women’s issues. She aims to help clients move from feeling stuck toward increased confidence and clearer next steps for their lives.
Practical approaches delivered online
Monriel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice their experience without judgment and build steady attention to the present moment. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process - the therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan as progress and preferences become clear.
Online therapy with Monriel is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face work for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let clients share thoughts between sessions or manage ongoing support while fitting therapy into a busy schedule.
