About Kristina

Dr. Kristina Thompson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi who focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, and self-esteem.

Background and approach

She brings 13 years of counseling experience to her work and draws on a variety of clinical approaches to tailor care to each client's needs. Her background includes addressing adoption and foster care matters, attachment and caregiver stress, autism spectrum concerns, codependency, communication and control issues, mood and personality disorders, and substance use challenges.

Her style centers on building rapport through openness, empathy, and a nonjudgmental stance, creating a space where clients can explore coping strategies and move forward from difficult life events. Dr.

Thompson uses methods such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy, selecting techniques that best match a client's goals and circumstances. She emphasizes practical coping skills and encouragement while supporting clients through change and recovery.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding a person's perspective and creating a supportive environment for exploration. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects back the client's experience, and helps the client identify personal goals and coping resources. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it often involves structured exercises and practical skill-building for issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process distressing memories related to trauma and can help reduce the intensity of painful images and feelings when paired with guided interventions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative: the therapist will work with each person to discuss goals, preferences, and the nature of presenting concerns, and then select or combine methods that best fit the situation. This is an evolving process and adjustments are made based on how clients respond and what feels most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule or to continue care from different locations. These formats support consistent access to licensed professionals and allow for a range of interaction styles, from scheduled conversations to brief check-ins, which can be useful for practicing skills between sessions.
