About Reggie
Reggie Thirus is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people take practical steps toward a more manageable life. He speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what is most pressing for each person. He focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship struggles, career worries, and ADHD-related challenges.
Reggie uses a mix of client-centered work, cognitive-behavioral ideas, and psychodynamic thinking to shape sessions. That means he draws out a person’s goals, helps spot unhelpful thoughts and habits, and looks at past patterns that still affect current life.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused so people leave with concrete next steps. He brings six years of counseling experience to his practice as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - in Wisconsin. That background includes time in helping roles before he became a counselor, and he leans on that experience when supporting people through change.
Reggie aims to create an inclusive, nonjudgmental space for people across a wide range of concerns. He is comfortable addressing issues related to gender identity and LGBT matters, intimacy, parenting stress, and care around mood disorders such as bipolar. He also works with problems related to trauma, family-of-origin patterns, and compulsive behaviors.
Outside of work he enjoys staying active, walking, good food, and music. He frames therapy as a partnership where small shifts build toward lasting improvements.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Reggie draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and psychodynamic ideas to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and building a trusting relationship so people can name their goals and feel heard. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and routines affect mood and behavior, then tests small changes that reduce stress and impulsivity. Psychodynamic work pays attention to patterns from the past that keep showing up, helping people recognize how earlier experiences shape today's choices.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Reggie collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He checks in as therapy progresses and adjusts the focus so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when screen time is possible. Phone sessions require less bandwidth for times when connections are limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when a written check-in fits someone’s routine. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the same collaborative approach.
