About Reggie
Reggie Thirus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with six years of direct counseling experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction concerns, and questions around gender and LGBT identities. He also lists family of origin issues, parenting worries, grief, bipolar management, ADHD, and career stress among his focus areas.
Reggie uses a straightforward, person-focused style in sessions. He leans on client-centered listening to follow what matters most to the person in the room. He pairs that with cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify thought and behavior patterns that get in the way. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships and family roles influence present choices.
In practical terms, sessions aim to clarify goals, try small changes, and talk through problem moments. He supports people working through shame, guilt, abandonment issues, communication breakdowns, and struggles with intimacy. Reggie also works with concerns tied to addiction, impulsivity, and blended family stress.
His LPC credential reflects licensure in Wisconsin. He describes an inclusive approach that attends to gender-related questions and diverse sexual cultures, including kink and BDSM when they are part of a person's concerns. Reggie notes experience helping people with co-occurring problems and complex family dynamics.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. In practice that means sessions start with what feels most urgent and the therapist reflects back to help clarify thinking and choices. This approach helps when family patterns or relationship roles feel confusing and you need someone to help sort them out.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short experiments and homework to test unhelpful beliefs and try different responses. CBT can be useful for anxiety, mood shifts, impulsivity, and managing everyday stressors tied to family dynamics.
Psychodynamic work pays attention to how earlier relationships influence present behavior. It helps surface repeated patterns coming from childhood or the family of origin and gives language to those patterns so they can be changed.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed based on how things are going. Expect a mix of listening, practical exercises, and reflection rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different places when travel or scheduling is a barrier. Licensed professionals adapt session length and focus to match a person's schedule and daily life.
