Dr. Kristina Thompson

Dr. Kristina Thompson is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Mississippi who holds a Master of Science degree and brings 12 years of experience as a therapist. She has worked with clients across the lifespan and a wide range of presenting concerns.

Throughout her career she has diagnosed and treated conditions such as depression, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anger management, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). She has also addressed matters related to adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, autism, personality concerns, blended-family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, intellectual disability, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, paranoia, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD), substance and alcohol addiction, and narcissistic behaviors.

Her counseling approach emphasizes building rapport and a strong therapeutic alliance. She is open, sympathetic, empathetic, and non-judgmental, and she helps clients identify and practice positive coping strategies so they can move forward from difficult events rather than remain stuck.

Dr. Thompson integrates evidence-based methods into her work, drawing on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. She selects the clinical approach that best fits each client’s specific needs.

Taking the step to seek counseling reflects a readiness for change, and Dr. Thompson aims to provide support, guidance, encouragement, and motivation to help individuals become their best selves. She welcomes the opportunity to work with those prepared to begin that process.
