Dr. Kristina Thompson , LPC

Dr. Kristina Thompson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, ADHD, addictions, grief, and intimacy or relationship concerns. Her work also addresses parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.

Dr. Thompson uses a warm, open style in sessions. She listens without judgment and focuses on building trust first. Sessions are meant to be practical and steady, aimed at finding coping steps that fit a person’s life.

Her approach draws on several methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person’s goals central and shapes sessions around what matters most to them. She also uses EMDR for trauma, Motivational Interviewing to support change, and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their stories.

With 13 years as a counselor, she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including adoption and foster care issues, attachment and autism-related challenges, codependency, blended family stress, domestic violence, and substance use struggles. She aims to match techniques to each person’s needs rather than applying a single method to everyone.

People who start therapy with Dr. Thompson can expect clear, respectful guidance and help developing coping tools. She encourages small, manageable steps so change feels possible. For those focused on women’s issues, she brings attention to concerns that commonly affect women’s lives while treating each person as an individual.

How these approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and rhythm. Online sessions let the therapist follow what matters most to the client and shape each meeting around their current priorities. This approach suits people who need a listening space and gentle guidance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with clear techniques. In video or text work, CBT can include guided exercises, homework, and short skill-building check-ins to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful habits.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for trauma and involves structured processing of painful memories. Portions of EMDR can be adapted to remote formats with careful pacing and collaboration about comfort and timing.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods or mix techniques until a good fit emerges.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual connection for deeper work. Phone sessions can work when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging allows brief check-ins, ongoing support, and written reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or other demands while keeping treatment focused and goal-oriented.
