About Christopher
Christopher Thrift is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi with eight years of experience. He helps people with addictions, anger, bipolar concerns, depression, anxiety, stress, and social anxiety and phobia. He also addresses relationship issues, grief, sleep problems, and life changes.
He focuses on plain, practical conversation. Sessions begin by identifying what feels most pressing. He listens to how daily habits, thoughts, and relationships affect mood and behavior. Then he works with people to try small, manageable changes they can test between meetings.
Christopher uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep discussions focused on the person’s experience and priorities. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence moods and actions. These approaches guide clear steps rather than long lectures.
People often bring concerns about addiction, compulsive behaviors, and relationship conflict. He also works on parenting stress, fatherhood issues, career and life purpose questions, and problems with anger or obsessive thinking. Sessions cover practical coping skills as well as thinking patterns that contribute to distress.
For someone nervous about starting therapy, he aims for straightforward, predictable first sessions. The initial meeting usually covers current problems, goals, and a simple plan for the next few visits. He asks about what has worked before and what feels realistic now.
How Christopher applies CBT and Client-Centered work online
Christopher uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client's immediate concerns and priorities. That approach means conversations center on the person’s own experience, with the counselor reflecting and asking questions to clarify what matters most. Client-Centered work can help people who need to talk through feelings and make sense of how situations affect them.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, actions, and feelings. CBT offers practical exercises and small behavior changes to test between sessions, useful for anxiety, compulsive behaviors, and mood difficulties. These techniques make goals concrete and measurable.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. Christopher explores goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, and he helps decide which methods to try first. That collaboration means the plan can shift as needs change.
