About Monique

Dr. Monique Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who brings more than two decades of clinical experience to work with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and depression. She uses a direct, solution-focused style paired with steady support, and many people find her straightforward manner helpful when they are ready to engage in change. Her practice emphasizes respect and practical strategies, and she aims to respond in a timely way during her stated office hours of 8am - 3pm CST.

With roughly 20,000 client hours of experience, Dr. Thompson has guided people through serious challenges and witnessed substantial recoveries. About 60% of her work centers on adult survivors of sexual trauma, addictions including drugs, alcohol, and sex, and couples recovering from affairs. She also provides general mental health counseling for depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, including post-hospitalization support and care for adults noticing symptoms for the first time. Other services include pre-surgery psychological evaluations and group therapy.

Dr. Thompson is known for asking focused, exploratory questions that help clients clarify goals - for example, questions about financial satisfaction, core motivations, and the first signs of positive change upon waking. She is the author of Infidelity Recovery Workbook for Couples: Tools and Exercises to Rebuild Your Relationship, which has ranked in the top 100 Dating Books on Amazon since its 2021 release.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward meaningful actions aligned with their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and recovering a sense of purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is effective for symptoms of depression, anxiety, and many everyday struggles. The Gottman Method is a structured, research-informed approach for couples that teaches communication skills, conflict management, and rebuilding trust after breaches like infidelity.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Dr. Thompson works together with each person or couple to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as therapy progresses to match what proves most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging let people access licensed professionals from different locations and fit care into busy schedules. These options can make it easier to maintain consistency in therapy while addressing stressful life circumstances, relationship challenges, or recovery needs from wherever the client is located.
