About Kristina
Dr. Kristina Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 13 years of experience as a counselor. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, ADHD, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, and grief. She also addresses parenting and sleep concerns, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She emphasizes building rapport first and then choosing methods that fit the person's needs. Sessions focus on talking through current problems, learning coping skills, and practicing ways to respond differently when old patterns show up.
She draws on several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the person's perspective and goals. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used when trauma memories are part of the problem.
Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy are also part of her toolkit. Motivational Interviewing is used to build a person's own reasons for change. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problems and rewrite how they see difficult events.
Dr. Thompson works with a wide range of concerns, including adoption- and attachment-related issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, codependency, communication and control difficulties, disruptive mood dysregulation problems, domestic violence, and substance use concerns. She asks questions, listens, and then works with each person to choose the most useful steps forward.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and goals, giving them space to describe what matters and set priorities. It helps when someone needs acceptance and clarity about what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It offers step-by-step practices for handling anger, anxiety, sleep problems, and unhelpful habits. EMDR is used when traumatic memories are part of the problem; it aims to reduce the intensity of those memories and the reactions connected to them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and can shift as needs change.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life. Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or choose sessions that suit quiet surroundings or low bandwidth. Licensed professionals can use these formats to help people practice skills, plan responses to triggers, and track progress between meetings.
