Reggie Thirus

Reggie Thirus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and identity questions find clearer footing. He offers a calm, empathic presence and works with clients to set practical goals for day-to-day life. His approach is direct but warm, aimed at helping people make changes that matter to them.

Reggie uses a mix of client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral ideas, and psychodynamic thinking. In sessions he helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, test new ways of coping, and connect current struggles to past experiences when that feels useful. He aims to keep conversations focused and practical while also attending to deeper emotional material.

With six years of counseling experience and a background in helping roles that span more than a decade, he brings steady experience to common concerns like depression, grief, addiction, parenting stress, and issues related to gender and sexual identity. He also supports people dealing with trauma, ADHD, and career or life transitions.

People looking for help with intimacy problems, abandonment issues, communication struggles, or complicated family of origin concerns may find his mix of approaches helpful. He encourages clients to try small changes between sessions and to build on what works.

Outside of his work he enjoys exercise, walking, food, and music. He practices in Wisconsin and conducts sessions in English.

How Reggie’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting people where they are with empathy and respect. It emphasizes listening, validating a person’s experience, and helping them set goals that matter in daily life. This approach can help with relationship concerns, identity questions, and coping with stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions often include simple exercises, homework, and clear steps to reduce anxiety, depression, or addictive patterns. CBT is useful when someone wants concrete strategies to try between meetings.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions. It helps people spot repeating patterns and understand the emotions behind them, which can be helpful for deeper issues like abandonment or long-standing relationship problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust course as progress is made. Clients help shape what the work focuses on and how quickly it moves.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage more comfortably.
