More about Kristina
- 11 years' experience

- LPC
Hello! I am a licensed professional counselor and a certified mental health therapist in the state of Mississippi with 14 years of experience in the field of mental health with 11.5 of those years as a counselor/therapist. I have worked with every population of clients throughout my years of experience. I have diagnosed and treated various mental health issues, including depression, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, anger management, ODD, and ADHD. Other areas of focus that I have addressed include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, Autism, personality issues, blended family issues, caregiver issues and stress, codependency, commitment issues, communication problems, intellectual disability, OCD, paranoia, DMDD, drug and alcohol addiction, and narcissism.
In regards to my counseling style, I believe that the best way to form a therapeutic alliance is to build rapport with each of my client. Also, I am very open, sympathetic, empathetic, and non-judgmental. In my opinion, everyone needs someone to talk to because we all experience unexpected events that affect us negatively in life. The best way to overcome these unexpected events is to find positive coping mechanisms that help an individual to move forward without looking back continuously. Moreover, my clinical approaches include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. I will utilize the most appropriate clinical approach with each of my clients based on his or her areas of need.
Furthermore, being able to take the step to seek counseling is no small feat, and it shows that you are willing to change. I am here to support, direction, encourage, and motivate you to be a better you.
Thank you for the opportunity to work with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Dr. Thompson is one of the best therapists I've worked with. She listens, supports, and provides the tools to be able to handle difficult situations. Because of her, I feel so confident in my abilities to handle stress and to know when my boundaries are crossed amongst many other things. She's taught me so much and she truly cares about you as an individual. She checks up on you frequently in between sessions which make me feel like I'm not alone. I recommend her to anyone who wants someone who is honest and dedicated to you. I'm very happy she's my therapist.

I have been with Dr. Thompson for almost 6 months now - my anxiety and depression are markedly improved! She really seems to listen and provides feedback and encouragement. I am so grateful for her and the BetterHelp platform!
I would not have made it through a very difficult year without our sessions and her constant attention to my mental health needs. I went through depression, divorce, and serious illness in my family and made it through to the other side.
She’s very kind. Good listener. Would like more, advice sometimes. But maybe she thinks it’s best I air out all my problems first. I’m good with her. Wish the service was able to offer more than once a week video
