About Monique

Dr. Monique Thompson brings 23 years of clinical experience as an LPC to her work with adults navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and depression.

Background and approach

She frames therapy in practical, solution-oriented terms and aims to help clients move from crisis to meaningful change by asking focused questions about values, daily life, and desired outcomes. Her background includes extensive hours in direct care and specialized work with survivors of sexual trauma, addictions, and couples rebuilding after affairs.

Clients can expect a direct but supportive therapeutic style that blends evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with acceptance-based and relational methods. Dr.

Thompson also offers services following hospitalization, pre-surgery psychological evaluations, and group therapy. She is the author of a couples workbook on infidelity recovery published in 2021 and maintains practice hours that accommodate varied schedules across Texas and international clients.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration, timely communication, and tailoring interventions to what each person needs to make practical progress.

How practical approaches meet online flexibility

Dr. Thompson frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and mood instability. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her toolkit, helping people clarify personal values and build committed action even when uncomfortable emotions are present.

Choosing an approach is collaborative rather than fixed; she works with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and stage of change. Over the course of early sessions she will assess needs and adapt techniques so therapy remains relevant and goal-focused.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical benefits for those balancing work, family, or health concerns. These formats allow for timely responses and scheduling flexibility while maintaining continuity of care across locations, including arrangements for international clients. The range of options makes it easier to fit evidence-informed methods into everyday life and to continue progress when in-person meetings are not possible.
