About Christopher
Christopher Thrift is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with eight years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with addictions, anger, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and other common struggles. He focuses on practical steps people can use to handle problems and feel more in control.
He aims to make sessions a straightforward place to talk through feelings and reactions. Conversations cover what is happening now, patterns that repeat, and small changes that can make daily life easier. He uses a client-centered stance, letting the person's goals guide the work.
Christopher also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. That approach is used to reduce distressing moods, ease sleep problems, and change behaviors linked to addiction or compulsions. Sessions often include clear skills and brief exercises to try between meetings.
People who come for help with anger find focus on understanding triggers and practicing different responses. Those facing relationship or communication problems work on clearer speaking and setting boundaries. He also supports people coping with grief, life changes, parenting strains, and career stress.
Christopher accepts clients who prefer to work in English and he is available to international clients as well. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to get started. The therapy subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. In practice this means the therapist asks about priorities, checks in on goals, and adapts sessions to what the client wants to work on. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to set practical goals for change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice thoughts that feed anger, anxiety, depression, or addictive behaviors. Sessions break issues into clear parts - thoughts, feelings, and actions - and introduce small exercises to try between meetings. CBT suits problems like sleep trouble, compulsions, and stress related to work or relationships.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try methods, and adjust work based on progress and preferences. Clients play an active role in setting goals and choosing what to practice between sessions.
