About Monique
Dr. Monique Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 23 years of clinical experience.
Background and approach
She practices from Texas and focuses on clear, direct work that aims for practical change. She often helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and relationship ruptures.
Her style is straightforward and solution-focused. She asks simple, revealing questions that help people clarify goals and notice small shifts.
Many clients appreciate timely responses and sessions that move toward concrete steps between meetings. About 60% of the caseload involves adult survivors of sexual trauma, people struggling with addictions, and partners recovering from affairs.
She also provides general mental health counseling after hospitalization or when adults notice new symptoms. Additional work covers issues such as attachment, abandonment, caregiver stress, and communication problems.
Dr. Thompson uses several therapeutic approaches to match a person’s needs.
Her practice includes Gottman Method work for relationship concerns alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. She also leads group therapy and offers pre-surgery psychological evaluations.
She is the author of Infidelity Recovery Workbook for Couples: Tools and Exercises to Rebuild Your Relationship, published in 2021. The book offers exercises and structured steps for partners rebuilding trust and communication.
Prospective clients can expect a direct, practical approach that focuses on real-world change.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Thompson often blends Gottman Method principles for relationship repair with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice values and take committed action. Gottman-informed work focuses on improving communication patterns and rebuilding trust, which can help partners address issues like infidelity and repeated conflict. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for managing painful thoughts and emotions while moving toward a chosen life, useful for anxiety, depression, and trauma recovery.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and she treats that as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals, what feels most comfortable, and try different techniques to see what helps. That collaborative stance means the plan may shift as progress and needs become clearer.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make therapy easier to fit into busy schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for relational work and exercises. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing encouragement, and written exercises between sessions. These flexible options help people continue consistent work regardless of location or travel constraints.
