Reggie Thirus, LPC

Reggie Thirus encourages people to take the first step toward examining their lives and making changes that support greater fulfillment and well-being. He approaches counseling with empathy and inclusivity, centering each conversation on the goals the individual brings to therapy. Reggie blends Person-Centered, Psychodynamic, and Rational-Emotive Behavior approaches to tailor a plan that fits a person’s unique needs and priorities, working collaboratively to set clear, achievable goals.

He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), licensed to practice in Wisconsin, and brings six years of counseling experience alongside more than a decade of work in helping professions. That background supports a practical, client-focused style that balances understanding personal history with strategies for change.

Outside of his professional work, Reggie enjoys staying active with workouts and walking, and he appreciates good food and music. He aims to create a respectful, supportive space where people can explore concerns and pursue growth at a pace that feels right for them.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Reggie commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person's own goals and insights drive progress - it is useful for building self-understanding, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is helpful for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Reggie treats that as a collaborative effort. He works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts strategies over time as progress is made.

Online therapy with Reggie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to engage in regular sessions, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from locations outside a traditional office setting.
