About Kristina
Dr. Kristina Thompson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi who brings 13 years of counseling experience to her work with clients facing a wide range of concerns.
Background and approach
She frequently supports people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, intimacy and self-esteem struggles, and issues related to eating and sleep.
Additional focuses include attachment and adoption concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems, DMDD, domestic violence, and substance use challenges. Her approach is collaborative and client-centered, emphasizing rapport, empathy, and a nonjudgmental stance so clients can explore practical coping skills and meaningful change.
Clinically she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and client-centered techniques, selecting methods that align with each person’s needs and goals. Dr.
Thompson frames seeking counseling as a courageous step and aims to offer support, direction, and encouragement as clients work toward recovery and healthier patterns. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through multiple formats, allowing clients to find a way of meeting that fits their schedules and preferences.
Approaches that guide online care
Dr. Thompson commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR into her online practice, with client-centered principles shaping the relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. EMDR focuses on processing troubling memories and the emotions tied to trauma, supporting clients who have experienced abuse or other distressing events. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so that treatment aligns with each person's values and goals.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Thompson works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors recommendations rather than applying a single technique, and adapts interventions over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit counseling into varied schedules and locations. These options support flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility constraints, and allow ongoing work on skills, processing, and goal-setting from wherever the client is located in Mississippi.
