About Kristina

Dr. Kristina Thompson is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, sleep problems, and mood concerns. She uses straightforward conversation to understand what is happening now and what a person wants to change. Her tone is open and nonjudgmental, and she focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

She draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the person’s goals and values. EMDR is offered for processing traumatic memories when that approach fits the situation.

Dr. Thompson has 13 years of experience as a counselor and works in Mississippi. She has helped people facing relationship strain, addiction concerns, parenting stress, grief, body image worries, and the challenges of adoption and attachment. She also supports those managing ADHD, bipolar symptoms, disruptive mood concerns, and behavioral patterns like codependency.

Her sessions emphasize building rapport first, then setting clear, achievable steps. She aims to offer encouragement, direction, and practical coping tools. People who want to change habits or sleep routines can expect a collaborative plan they can try between meetings.

To begin, readers are invited to use the Start Therapy flow on the site. That process includes a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability. Dr. Thompson frames therapy as teamwork focused on steady, usable progress.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s goals. In practice this means conversations that center what matters most and help set small, achievable steps for daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by breaking them into manageable pieces and testing new ways of doing things. EMDR involves guided processing of traumatic memories and can be used when trauma is a central concern.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and try different methods if needed. Together they set goals, review progress, and adjust plans based on what helps the person sleep better, manage mood, or reduce anxiety.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy into busy days, makes shorter check-ins possible during a lunch break, or avoids travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and practice new sleep or coping routines between meetings, while decisions about format are made together based on the client’s needs and circumstances.
