About Si
Si Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Idaho who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, ADHD, grief, mood challenges, and many other life changes.
Background and approach
He brings nine years of clinical experience and a strengths-based outlook, guiding clients to better understand patterns that hold them back and to develop practical ways to manage emotions and relationships.
Thompson's background includes a B.S. in psychology from the University of Idaho and an MSW from Boise State University, along with early service roles such as AmeriCorps work in rural schools, wilderness counseling, and mentoring in therapeutic residential programs.
Those varied experiences inform his collaborative, respectful style and his interest in tailoring treatment to the individual rather than relying on a single playbook. Clinically he draws from client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral ideas, existential thinking, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing, and he often integrates psychoeducation, narrative techniques, relaxation work, journaling, and creative exercises when helpful.
Thompson emphasizes clear communication, curiosity, and working together to open possibilities for change and personal growth.
Approach-driven care delivered online
Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and respect, focusing on the client's own goals and perspective to support self-discovery and growth. This approach helps people clarify values, strengthen self-understanding, and work toward changes that feel authentic to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then practicing concrete strategies to reduce distress and improve functioning. CBT can be useful for issues like anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns that contribute to relationship or work challenges.
Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to tailor methods based on presenting concerns, personal goals, and preferences, mixing client-centered listening, CBT techniques, existential reflection, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing as needed.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or when travel is difficult. These formats allow continued access to licensed professionals and make it possible to practice skills between sessions and maintain continuity of care across locations.
