About Kristina
Dr. Kristina Thompson helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, addiction, and related concerns. She is a licensed professional counselor who practices in Mississippi and brings 13 years of counseling experience to her work.
She meets people where they are and focuses on building a strong working relationship. Sessions are open, nonjudgmental, and aimed at practical change. She listens first, then helps clients choose strategies that fit their life and goals.
Background and approach
Her approach blends several methods. She uses client-centered techniques to follow what matters to the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and shift small behaviors that make a big difference.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be used when trauma memories are getting in the way of daily life. Dr. Thompson also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative therapy to help people find motivation and reframe hard stories about themselves.
She works with issues such as grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue. People will find straightforward guidance, coping tools, and support for making changes. She encourages clients to try approaches that fit their needs and adjusts methods as progress is made.

How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, so an online session will begin with open conversation about what matters most. This approach helps build trust and keeps work focused on immediate concerns like anger, stress, or relationship struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. Online CBT sessions often include brief exercises, homework, and real-time coaching to try new skills between meetings. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used for trauma work by processing difficult memories in a structured way and can be adapted for remote sessions when appropriate.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and the problem at hand. Plans are adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions that mirror face-to-face meetings, phone calls can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging lets someone get shorter check-ins or spaced-out reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between appointments.
