Dr. Monique Thompson , LPC

Dr. Monique Thompson has practiced psychotherapy for more than two decades. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and brings 23 years of experience to sessions. Her work often centers on women's issues alongside general adult mental health concerns.

Her style is direct and pragmatic. She uses straightforward, solution-focused conversations to help people untangle what matters most to them. She asks pointed questions to clarify values and goals so progress can be measured in everyday life.

Many clients come to her for help with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, and relationship problems. A large portion of her work involves adult survivors of sexual trauma, addictions, and couples recovering from infidelity. She also provides support after hospital discharge and for adults noticing new symptoms.

Sessions may include individual counseling, pre-surgery psychological evaluations, or group therapy depending on needs. She has authored a workbook for couples, Infidelity Recovery Workbook for Couples, which offers tools and exercises for rebuilding relationships.

Office hours are 8am to 3pm Central Standard Time and she aims to respond in a timely way. Her approach emphasizes practical next steps and realistic change, while helping people reconnect to what matters most in their lives.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and practical support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them. It helps people tolerate difficult feelings while moving toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches hands-on skills to change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience and priorities, with the therapist offering empathic listening and support.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean blending ideas from ACT, CBT, and client-centered work so sessions are practical and personally relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or ongoing written support possible between longer sessions. These options let people shape care around work, family, and travel while keeping focus on meaningful change.
