Dr. Monique Thompson , LPC

Dr. Monique Thompson brings over two decades of experience to her psychotherapy practice, now working in her 22nd year as a clinician. She is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) who offers a direct, solution-focused style that many people find respectful and supportive, while acknowledging that this approach may not suit everyone. Her practice emphasizes timely responses and clear expectations, with office hours from 8am to 3pm CST.

With roughly 20,000 client hours of experience, she has witnessed substantial change in people facing difficult circumstances and approaches her work with a conviction that meaningful progress is possible. She is known for asking probing, practical questions to clarify goals and values - for example, exploring what a fully satisfied financial life would leave to pursue, following up consistently with why, and imagining the first sign of positive change on an ordinary morning.

About 60% of her caseload focuses on adult survivors of sexual trauma, addictions including drugs, alcohol, and sex, and couples recovering from affairs. She also provides general mental health counseling for depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, especially for adults post-hospitalization or those noticing symptoms for the first time. Additional services include pre-surgery psychological evaluations and group therapy. Dr. Thompson is the author of the Infidelity Recovery Workbook for Couples: Tools and Exercises to Rebuild Your Relationship, which has ranked in the top 100 Dating Books on Amazon since its release in 2021.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dr. Monique Thompson

Dr. Thompson integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and focuses on taking actions aligned with personal values - it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills for changing behaviors and moods, which can assist with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports the individual in discovering their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process, and Dr. Thompson works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns. She adjusts methods over time as needs change to create a tailored plan.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling, the ability to attend sessions from different locations, and multiple communication options to match different comfort levels and practical needs.
