About Monique
Dr. Monique Thompson is a licensed professional counselor with more than two decades of clinical work in Texas. She brings 23 years of experience and a direct, solution-focused style to sessions.
Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at people who want clear steps to feel better. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and relationship wounds. A large portion of her practice has involved adult survivors of sexual trauma, addiction issues, and partners recovering from affairs.
Background and approach
She also provides general mental health counseling after hospitalization and for adults noticing symptoms for the first time. Dr. Thompson uses several well-established approaches during therapy, including Gottman Method for relationship work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and cognitive behavioral strategies.
Sessions emphasize real-world tools, simple experiments between meetings, and focused conversations that get to what matters most. Many clients find her practical questions helpful to clarify goals and values. She asks concrete, outcome-oriented questions that help people picture meaningful change and notice early signs of progress.
She also runs group therapy and conducts pre-surgery psychological evaluations when needed. Outside of clinical work she authored Infidelity Recovery Workbook for Couples: Tools and Exercises to Rebuild Your Relationship, released in 2021. Her writing reflects the same hands-on, task-oriented approach she uses in sessions.
If someone wants a direct, experienced guide through relationship repair or recovery from trauma, she may be a good fit.

Online support
Approaches for online relationship and trauma work
Dr. Thompson uses a mix of approaches that translate well to online work. The Gottman Method focuses on practical skills for improving communication and rebuilding trust in relationships; it uses structured conversations and exercises that couples can practice between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence mood and behavior and offers concrete techniques to test and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Thompson will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods together and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process means techniques can be mixed or changed over time to better fit each person’s needs.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and guided exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
