01About Reggie
Reggie Thirus welcomes people who are ready to make changes but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. He writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person. Reggie aims to create straightforward goals and practical steps so progress feels real and manageable.
He uses a warm, person-centered approach that starts with understanding the client's priorities. From there he draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Background and approach
He also weaves in psychodynamic thinking to notice repeated patterns that show up across relationships and life choices. Reggie is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - licensed in Wisconsin and has six years of clinical counseling experience. He has a background in other helping roles that inform his practical style.
His work covers a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, substance struggles, LGBT issues, relationship and intimacy questions, parenting strain, grief, and major life transitions. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and how to get there. That can include skill building, clearer communication, coping plans for difficult moments, and exploring the stories that shape current behavior.
Reggie aims to keep sessions grounded, direct, and respectful of each person's pace. Outside of work he enjoys exercise, walking, food, and music, which he says help him stay balanced and present for his clients.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Reggie combines person-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and psychodynamic thinking in online sessions. Person-centered work focuses on listening closely and following the client's goals to build trust and clarity; it helps when someone needs a steady, supportive space to sort priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and uses concrete exercises to test new behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and forming coping skills. Psychodynamic work pays attention to patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices, which can help when someone wants to understand why the same problems keep returning.Finding the right approach is part of the process and is done together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process helps shape sessions around the client's needs and preferences rather than a fixed template.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people meet face to face when schedules or distance make in-person visits hard. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or shorter touchpoints between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the same therapeutic focus.
