About Reggie

Reggie Thirus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin. He focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and major life changes. He also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting issues, and matters related to LGBT identity.

Reggie speaks English and accepts international clients who prefer remote care. Reggie listens first and helps people set clear, realistic goals. He uses a warm, empathic style that centers the person's experience.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to make day-to-day coping easier and to reduce painful patterns that repeat over time. He draws from client-centered therapy to prioritize what matters to the person in front of him. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Psychodynamic ideas help uncover longer-standing patterns rooted in past relationships. Reggie has six years of counseling experience and holds the Wisconsin LPC license WI LPC 7904-125. He blends approaches to match each person’s needs rather than using a single recipe for everyone.

In practical terms he offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Therapy sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Reggie commonly draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening carefully and following the person’s concerns, which helps build trust and clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals and try methods that match those goals and preferences. If something does not fit, he adjusts the plan together with the person rather than sticking to one method.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes therapy more flexible for busy lives. These formats let people connect from home or while traveling, keep continuity during life changes, and allow brief check-ins between longer sessions. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep work consistent and accessible for different needs and schedules.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.
