More about Monique

  • 22 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am in my 22nd year as a psychotherapist.

What to expect:

Respect and Support - Most people find my straightforward approach helpful and solution-focused. It may not be for you! If you believe you are fairly certain you are "ready" then let's give it a try!

Office hours: 8am - 3pm CST

Timely responses

Expertise - I have seen the impossible happen in person after person - 20,000 client hours! I believe people can achieve incredible things despite impossible odds because I've been there when it happens.

Three questions I'm known to ask people in therapy:

1. If you had your financial life at 100% satisfaction, what would be left to do for you to be your ideal self?

2. Why? (no matter what people say, I tend to follow by asking, "why"?)

3. If when you awake in the morning, everything was changed for the better, what is the first thing you'd notice?

About 60% of my practice involves work with adult survivors of sexual trauma, addictions (drugs, alcohol, sex) and couples recovering from affairs. I also offer traditional general mental health counseling for depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, particularly post-hospitalization or adults who are noticing symptoms for the first time. Other services include pre-surgery psych evals and group therapy.

A few other notes about me

I authored a workbook for couples, Infidelity Recovery Workbook for Couples: Tools and Exercises to Rebuild Your Relationship that has ranked in the top 100 Dating Books on Amazon since it's release in 2021.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Experienced. Resourceful. Thoughtful. Phenomenal listener. Compassionate challenger. Wise. Insightful therapist. Those words do not fully capture the extent of gratitude for Dr. Thompson's life changing therapy. I am quite a different woman who is healthier in ways that I did not even know were possible, while still managing to laugh. Counseling with her has been the gift that keeps giving.

Monique Thompson attentively listens to my concerns and offers doable and practical solutions to help me work through my issues. She is caring and approachable and very easy to talk to. She helps me think through my concerns and sometimes it ends up not being as bad as it seemed. I love the part at the end of each session when she asks what did you take away from today’s session. And I always learn something and feel better during our sessions. Monique is an excellent counselor and she teaches her clinical knowledge to help you better understand what is happening in your brain when there is depression and/or anxiety present. She is truly a God send for me.

She is a amazing therapist, I’ve connected with her and she helps me stop and think about life. She really does her job

Reviewed June 2022

Monique is exactly what I'm looking for in a therapist. She is able to take my slew of jumbled thoughts and feelings and piece them together in a way that makes perfect sense to me. She offers me solutions without directly handing them to me, but rather opening the door to allow me to find the solution myself. She also is wonderful at communicating about how our individual sessions as well as our time together as a whole will be structured, which is extremely helpful as someone who is fairly new to therapy, and has anxiety around the unknown. I'm so happy I connected with Monique and I would highly recommend her to anyone

Monique is very proactive. She seems to want to find a solution and is willing to let you take the driving seat to figure that out. Her approach is educational and she is uplifting in her sessions. I enjoy working with her.

Reviewed April 2022

I don’t think this a good fit for me in my personal care. I feel she means well but I was triggered by something she wrote and I tried to question it but no response. It felt like a bomb shell was dropped and walked out of the room. So at this point I feel anxious to hear what she has to say any we haven’t even gotten to our first meeting yet.
