Ross Thompson, LMFT

Ross Thompson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Texas who has held his license since 2008. He practices from a client-centered perspective, prioritizing a cooperative, respectful relationship that helps clients clarify their needs, set meaningful goals, and monitor progress toward them. Ross adapts his therapeutic style to meet each person where they are, drawing on approaches that resonate with clients such as CBT, collaborative methods, narrative therapy, and solution-focused strategies. He emphasizes a holistic view that considers the interaction of mind and body, and he may incorporate mindfulness practices and attention to physical health when those elements support longer-lasting change. His work aims not only to address immediate concerns but also to build stability beyond counseling by helping clients recognize and strengthen their resources and adaptability. Ross holds an MA and has taken Ph.D. classes in Marriage and Family Therapy, and he has worked with people reporting a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, emotional trauma, codependency, adultery or cheating, and motivation. He notes availability in the afternoons and evenings, with hours from 3pm to midnight, and looks forward to partnering with clients who seek thoughtful, individualized care.

Client-Centered, Mindfulness, and Narrative Approaches Online

Ross frequently employs client-centered therapy, which centers the therapeutic relationship and supports clients in exploring concerns at their own pace so they can identify goals that matter to them. Mindfulness therapy introduces practices that cultivate present-moment awareness and calm attention, which can help reduce reactivity and support coping with anxiety, stress, and sleep challenges. Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives, helping clients examine patterns, separate problems from identity, and develop alternative narratives for issues like trauma, self-esteem, and relationship struggles.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process; Ross works together with each client to select and adjust methods based on their needs, goals, and personal preferences, shaping treatment as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and practice tools between meetings. Therapists can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and conversation-based interventions to each format to support steady progress.
