About Christopher
Christopher Thrift is a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of clinical experience in Mississippi. He helps people who are struggling with addiction, anger, mood concerns, and depression. He focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more in control.
Christopher builds a calm, nonjudgmental environment so people can talk openly about hard things. He encourages honest conversation about feelings and behaviors and works at the client’s pace.
Background and approach
The first step often involves identifying what the person wants to change and what gets in the way. He draws on client-centered methods that prioritize each person’s goals and perspectives. He also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Together these approaches guide clear, usable plans for everyday life. Christopher often helps people address stress, anxiety, sleep problems, grief, and relationship concerns. He also supports those facing career transitions, parenting challenges, and questions about life purpose.
Practical coping skills and short-term goals are regular parts of his work. Sessions may include problem-solving, skill-building, and ongoing check-ins to track progress. Christopher accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.
He aims to make therapy straightforward and focused on the changes each person wants to see.

How Christopher's Methods Translate to Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding a person's goals, and building a plan together. It helps people feel heard and decide what changes matter most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and teaches practical skills to challenge patterns that cause distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying client-centered conversations first, then adding CBT skills like thought records or behavior experiments if helpful.
Online formats make regular sessions easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for people who want ongoing written support or who find writing helps them organize thoughts. These options give flexibility for scheduling, follow-up, and continuing progress between meetings.
