Monique Randle
*I AM ONLY ABLE TO PROVIDE TELEHEALTH SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS IN THE STATES OF ARKANSAS and TEXAS* Hi, I'm Monique Randle, LCSW and certified sex therapist (CST). Do you often find yourself lying awake at night, replaying conversations and wondering why your relationships feel so draining? Maybe you feel like you're always the one giving more, or perhaps you're struggling with the nagging feeling that you don't quite fit into the traditional molds expected by society. If you're wrestling with anxiety that keeps you second-guessing your worth or actions, you're not alone. In our sessions, we'll dive into the heart of these emotional and cognitive storms. Are you constantly on edge, anticipating conflict or misunderstanding even in calm situations? Do you find yourself pulling away just when things start to get close, or maybe you keep attracting partners who just don't seem to 'get' you? These patterns aren't just habits; they're cries for understanding and change, and I hear them loud and clear. Together, we will explore these feelings and behaviors, focusing solely through individual therapy—because sometimes, the most profound growth happens one-on-one. We'll craft a space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions safely and confidentially, without the pressure of conforming to anyone else's expectations. Let's uncover the roots of your distress and journey towards a more authentic and fulfilling life. I'm here to help guide you through self-discovery and beyond, building resilience and joy along the way.

Jennifer Nelson
I am licensed in Arkansas, Massachusetts, and Oregon with over 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with depression, anxiety, family conflicts, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming issues that challenge you. I often use the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solutions Focused approaches to help my clients work their way out of what is distressing them. I also use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help my clients with history of trauma when they desire more focused work to overcome challenges. I find the CBT, Solutions Focused, and CPT approaches to be very effective, because you will begin to recognize what is going through your mind and how it affects your feelings and way that you react/respond to every day situations. I strongly believe “change your thoughts, change your life,” and using these approaches can help a person to recognize how self-defeating thought patterns can hinder their growth. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and you can be proud of yourself for taking that step! I am a supportive cheerleader to my clients and care about your success. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals!
