About Kristina
Dr. Kristina Thompson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Mississippi who helps people handle stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship concerns. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, addictions, mood disorders, and challenges around parenting and intimacy.
Her tone is warm and nonjudgmental, and she works to build rapport so clients feel heard and understood. She uses a mix of practical approaches in sessions. That includes Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite painful life stories and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Client-Centered methods guide conversations so the client’s goals lead the work. Dr. Thompson has 13 years of counseling experience.
She draws on that background when helping people cope with major life changes, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also has experience addressing adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism-related challenges, and blended family dynamics. Sessions often focus on clear, doable steps.
Clients can expect to talk through problems, try simple skills between sessions, and reflect on what’s working. Motivational Interviewing is used when a person wants help finding inner reasons to change, such as with substance use or commitment issues. Care is offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
The approach is collaborative - goals and methods are decided together so therapy fits each person’s needs.

Online session options
How narrative and practical therapies work online
Dr. Thompson uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves. This approach helps separate a person from a problem so they can see different options and rewrite a painful chapter. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that can reduce anxiety and lift mood.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, journaling support, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and flexible around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
