Whitney Thompson is a compassionate psychotherapist who works with individuals, couples, and families addressing relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, parent-child difficulties, co-parenting concerns, attention differences, autism, and addiction. She blends practical strategies with a warm, nonjudgmental presence, helping people feel understood and supported as they navigate difficult life moments.

Her practice emphasizes couples and family work, trauma-informed care, mindfulness techniques, and targeted treatment for attention-related concerns. As a parent herself, Whitney brings firsthand understanding to work with other parents and caregivers, offering guidance grounded in both professional training and lived experience.

Whitney also has experience in 12-step programs, medication-assisted treatment settings, and therapeutic groups, which informs her approach to substance use and recovery issues. She holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - and integrates evidence-based methods to tailor treatment to each person, couple, or family she supports. Her style is collaborative and respectful, focused on building practical skills and deeper connection rather than judgment.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Whitney commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, and mindfulness practices to support clients in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges. Emotionally-focused therapy concentrates on emotions and relationship patterns, helping couples and families build stronger attachment and communication. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-regulation skills, which can reduce stress and improve coping with difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Whitney collaborates with each person or couple to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative approach helps ensure therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility to engage by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from home or another comfortable location. Whitney uses these formats to deliver the same thoughtful, evidence-informed care available in person while accommodating each client’s logistics and comfort.
