About Christopher
Christopher Thrift is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi. He brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier day to day. He helps people who are struggling with addictions, depression, anxiety, bipolar symptoms, and anger.
He also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, sleep problems, and common life transitions. Communication problems, parenting concerns, and career stress are included among his regular focus areas.
How Christopher works
Christopher aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk honestly about thoughts and feelings. Sessions emphasize listening first and then working together on realistic goals. He combines gentle support with approaches that teach new ways of thinking and coping.
In practice he uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns in thought and behavior and try small experiments to change them. People looking for online care can meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
International clients who speak English are supported. Christopher encourages taking the first step and will help plan next actions and short-term goals in early sessions.

Online approaches that focus on change and connection
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's priorities first and emphasizes being heard. That approach helps when someone needs a calm space to sort feelings, figure out what matters, and set personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, and unhelpful patterns by testing new ways of thinking and behaving.Choosing the right approach is part of working together. Christopher will talk about goals and preferences in early sessions and recommend methods that fit those aims. The process is collaborative - plans are adjusted over time based on what is most helpful for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is not preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, and ways to fit therapy into a busy day. These formats make it easier to keep momentum while addressing addiction, mood, relationship, and stress-related concerns.
