About Monique
Dr. Monique Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 23 years of clinical work. She practices from Texas and uses a direct, practical style that many people find helpful.
She responds in a timely way and keeps typical office hours in the morning and early afternoon. Her work often focuses on major life stresses such as anxiety, depression, bipolar-related concerns, trauma and abuse, and relationship problems. A large part of her caseload has involved adults recovering from sexual trauma, substance or behavioral addictions, and couples rebuilding after affairs.
Background and approach
She also provides support after psychiatric hospitalization and helps adults noticing new symptoms for the first time. Dr. Thompson blends several approaches depending on the person and problem.
She draws on Existential ideas about meaning, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy skills for managing distress, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Client-Centered techniques to keep sessions grounded in empathy and partnership and applies elements of the Gottman Method when working on relationship repair. Her practice includes single-client work, group therapy, and pre-surgery psychological evaluations.
She has authored a couples workbook, Infidelity Recovery Workbook for Couples, published in 2021 and noted in the top 100 dating books on Amazon after release. That resource reflects her practical, exercise-based approach to relationship recovery. Dr.
Thompson tends to ask straightforward questions that help people clarify values, motivations, and desired changes. She invites people who feel ready for direct, goal-focused work to try a few sessions and see how the approach fits them.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility. It helps people who feel stuck, empty, or uncertain to clarify what matters and make decisions that match their values.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills for living with difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to valued action. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and ongoing stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the person's lead and reflects their experience so they feel understood.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will collaborate with the person to try techniques and see what fits best based on goals and preferences. Sessions can blend methods over time so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers several flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions when video is hard, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other demands, and to pick the communication style that feels most comfortable.
