Dr. Kristina Thompson, LPC

Dr. Kristina Thompson is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and anger. She supports those dealing with ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain, and low self-esteem. She works with concerns linked to adoption and foster care, attachment, autism, and substance use problems.

She takes a straightforward, empathetic approach in sessions. She aims to build rapport quickly and listens without judgment. Conversations focus on practical coping steps and on finding ways to move forward after difficult events.

Her work draws on several counseling approaches. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s lead and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when trauma memories are a core concern.

Dr. Thompson emphasizes collaboration. She discusses options with each person and selects approaches based on the issues at hand and the person’s goals. Treatment plans are adapted as progress is made.

With more than a decade of experience as a counselor, she combines practical strategies with steady encouragement. She aims to help people discover healthier coping skills and to regain a sense of control over daily life.

If you are thinking about counseling, she asks people to take a first step by completing a brief matching questionnaire and then scheduling based on availability.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead to build trust and clarify goals. It helps people who need a space to talk things through and who benefit from being heard before making changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day struggles. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distressing memories and uses structured procedures to reduce their hold; it is often used when past trauma continues to disrupt daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and preferences. Then they will pick or combine methods that match those needs, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that talking from a familiar place helps them stay consistent with care and practice skills between meetings.
