About Kristina
Dr. Kristina Thompson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Mississippi who focuses on anxiety, stress, trauma, depression, and related concerns. She offers practical support for people struggling with mood changes, difficult life transitions, addictive behaviors, relationship and intimacy challenges, and parenting stress.
Her approach aims to help people find coping tools they can use day to day. She uses calm, open listening to build trust. Sessions are conversational and aimed at understanding what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
She emphasizes realistic, step-by-step changes rather than quick fixes. Dr. Thompson draws on several therapy styles to match the client’s needs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the work focused on the person’s goals and values. She also integrates EMDR for processing traumatic memories when appropriate.
Her background includes 13 years of experience as a counselor and broader work in mental health over 16 years. That experience covers a wide range of concerns including ADHD, grief, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and substance use. She blends practical techniques with supportive coaching to help people move forward.
People who seek her help can expect a nonjudgmental stance and collaborative planning. She aims to create realistic goals and teach skills for managing anxiety, improving sleep, and handling life stressors. Her style centers on encouragement, clear direction, and steady support.
To begin, she asks people to identify specific problems and small goals. From there she tailors methods to fit each person’s situation and pace.
Therapeutic approaches that work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive relationship. It helps people clarify their goals and make choices that fit their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and change troubling patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used to process traumatic memories and lessen their emotional intensity when that is appropriate.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, comfort level, and symptoms. That decision is revisited as progress is made, so the plan can shift if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Live chat and texting are useful for quick check-ins, short coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help fit care around work, school, and family life while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
