Kristina Thompson, an LPC practicing in Mississippi with 13 years as a counselor. She aims to create a calm, open space for people to talk and begin making changes. Her approach is direct and practical.
Sessions focus on building rapport first. She listens without judgment and works with each person to find better coping strategies.
How Kristina works
Treatment plans are tailored to the concerns brought to sessions rather than a one-size-fits-all method. She draws on several clinical approaches to guide work in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the person’s needs and goals. EMDR can be used for processing traumatic memories when appropriate. Work with her can include tackling relationship and intimacy issues, grief and loss, body image and eating concerns, sleep problems, and parenting stress.
Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and challenges related to blended families and caregiver stress. Her style is encouraging and motivational. She often uses narrative techniques to reframe difficult stories and motivational interviewing to support change.
The goal is practical steps clients can use between sessions to feel better and move forward. Dr. Thompson practices in Mississippi as an LPC and offers video, phone, chat, and text-based session formats for flexibility.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Thompson uses approaches that aim to make therapy practical and focused on what helps day to day. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the work centered on the person’s goals and experiences, with the therapist listening and guiding rather than directing. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a method used to process disturbing memories and reduce their emotional intensity when trauma is part of the concern.Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences, then recommend one or a combination of methods. This collaborative planning helps make sessions feel relevant and tailored to what the person wants to change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer choice and flexibility. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share updates between sessions or hold shorter conversations that fit a work break or a busy day. These options make it easier to keep consistent work toward goals without long commutes.
