With nine years of clinical experience, Si blends curiosity, empathy, and respectful challenge to support personal growth and clearer self-understanding.
His background includes a B.S. in psychology from the University of Idaho, an MSW from Boise State University, and earlier work as an AmeriCorps volunteer, wilderness counselor, and mentor in therapeutic residential programs. Si draws on a strengths-based stance and integrates cognitive behavioral techniques, existential perspectives, mindfulness practices, and narrative approaches to address thought patterns, emotions, and behavior.
He also incorporates experiential tools such as role play, journaling, creative media, relaxation exercises, and psychoeducation when they fit a client’s needs. Si aims to collaborate with each person to tailor an approach that respects their values and life story while offering practical skills to manage symptoms like insomnia, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, and mood concerns.
He brings a friendly, down-to-earth style shaped by outdoor life in North Idaho and a belief that self-discovery is an ongoing journey.
Approaches That Guide Online Sessions
Si Thompson commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and developing practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening, respect, and collaboration so clients can explore values and make choices aligned with their goals.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Si treats it as a collaborative conversation. He will work with each client to tailor methods to their needs, combining evidence-based techniques, mindfulness practices, and narrative exploration as appropriate to the presenting concerns and personal preferences.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to arrange appointments around busy schedules or when in-person visits are impractical. These options offer flexibility in pacing and communication style, allowing clients to engage in ways that feel most comfortable while accessing a licensed professional from Idaho or internationally.
