About Travis

Travis Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 18 years of experience. He uses clear, down-to-earth conversation to help people sort through stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting challenges, and family concerns. He speaks in plain language and focuses on helping people find workable steps forward.

He builds a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where honesty is encouraged. That helps people name what they are feeling and think through next steps.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical communication skills and on setting realistic goals that fit everyday life. Travis blends approaches such as client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to match each person’s needs. He also uses mindfulness exercises and solution-focused planning to help manage difficult thoughts and emotions.

Motivational interviewing is part of how he supports change when people feel stuck. Conversations often include identifying small, concrete actions to try between sessions. He helps people assess progress and adjust plans as needed.

The goal is steady improvement through clearer thinking and better communication. Travis has supported people dealing with trauma, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and job or career stress. He also has worked with adoption and foster care issues, attachment and blended family challenges, fatherhood concerns, and hoarding.

He encourages courage and practical steps when life feels overwhelming.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Travis often uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, listening-based space where people can speak openly and set their own goals. That approach helps when someone needs to clarify values and make decisions that fit their life. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - which focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor techniques based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process helps decide whether more mindfulness practice, solution-focused steps, or motivational interviewing fits best at any time.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy family schedule or to continue work when travel or other demands come up. The variety of formats supports ongoing progress by allowing check-ins, shorter conversations, or full sessions depending on what is most helpful.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
