About Reggie
Reggie Thirus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people handle stress and anxiety. He speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel approachable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed. Reggie centers sessions on what each person needs and moves at a pace that fits them.
He uses a mix of client-centered work, cognitive techniques, and psychodynamic ideas to guide conversations. That means he listens closely, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and looks at past experiences that shape current feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions often include practical steps to manage symptoms and time to talk about what matters most. Reggie brings six years of counseling experience and a longer background in helping roles.
He is licensed in Wisconsin and works with a wide range of concerns including depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and concerns related to LGBT identities. Therapy with him can include short-term skills work or deeper exploration of recurring patterns. He helps people set clear goals and checks in on progress as they move forward.
Reggie also addresses related topics such as communication problems, family of origin issues, and coping with life changes. Outside of work he enjoys exercise, walking, food, and music. That personal balance informs a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting space where the client sets goals and explores what matters most. It helps when someone needs acceptance, support, and a steady guide through emotional challenges.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches clear tools to change unhelpful thinking and build new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.
Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to how past experiences shape current patterns and relationships. It can help people notice repeated themes and make different choices in their lives.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit. Together they will adjust the focus as progress is made and needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, while phone calls work when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and messaging allow quick check-ins and shorter touchpoints during the week. These options make it easier to fit care around work, travel, or a busy home life.
