About Ross

Ross Thompson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has worked in Texas since 2008. He brings 17 years of clinical experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, relationships and life changes. Ross speaks plainly and focuses on building a respectful, cooperative working relationship with each person.

He uses a client-centered stance to help people name what matters most to them. That means listening first, then shaping goals together. He draws on Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused ideas to help people rewrite unhelpful stories and find practical steps forward.

Background and approach

Mindfulness and attention to the body are part of his approach when helpful. Those practices are used to reduce reactivity, improve sleep, and manage symptoms like panic or anger. He also brings techniques useful for coping with grief, addiction, low self-esteem, and caregiver stress.

Ross has worked with a wide range of concerns for many years, including depression, trauma and attachment struggles. He aims for steady progress and skills people can keep using after sessions end. His priority is helping people strengthen their own resources so they can handle new challenges.

Sessions are offered in English and are scheduled around his practice hours. Ross prefers to match therapy style to each person's needs, so people can expect a collaborative process focused on clear goals and manageable steps.

Online session options

How narrative and mindful approaches work online

Ross blends Narrative Therapy and Client-Centered work in online sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people step back from a problem story and consider alternatives, which can be useful for issues like shame, codependency, or identity questions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, cooperative relationship so goals arise from what matters most to the person.

He also uses Mindfulness practices when appropriate to lower anxiety, ease panic symptoms, and help with sleep or anger management. Each approach is explained and tried collaboratively so the person and therapist decide what fits best based on needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversations and exercises that use facial expression. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can suit quick reflections, skill practice, or ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, and other daily demands.
