About Dr. Monique Thompson
Dr. Monique Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 23 years of clinical experience and more than 20,000 client hours guiding people through difficult transitions and entrenched patterns. She is known for a direct, solution-focused style that balances respect with practical support, and she aims to help clients move toward measurable change while responding promptly to communications. Office hours are 8am - 3pm CST and she emphasizes timely responses to client needs.
Roughly 60 percent of Dr. Thompson's practice centers on adult survivors of sexual trauma, addictions - including drugs, alcohol, and sexual addiction - and couples recovering from affairs. She also provides general mental health counseling for depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, with particular experience supporting adults after hospitalization or those noticing symptoms for the first time. Additional services include pre-surgery psychological evaluations and group therapy. Her broader interests include issues such as abandonment, attachment, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, control concerns, coping after disasters, divorce and separation, family of origin matters, forgiveness, guilt and shame, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, questions of life purpose, and midlife transitions.
Dr. Thompson integrates a range of clinical approaches to tailor care to each person, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), existential therapy, the Gottman Method for couples, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic approaches, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-focused methods. She often uses probing, future-oriented questions to help clients clarify goals and values - for example asking what would remain once financial life felt fully settled, following up with why that matters, and inviting clients to imagine what a changed morning would look like if everything were better. These questions are intended to surface priorities and spark practical steps toward change.
In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Thompson authored 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. Her practice emphasizes actionable strategies, compassionate accountability, and a commitment to helping people achieve meaningful progress even in challenging circumstances.
