About Reggie
Reggie Thirus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with six years of clinical experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, identity questions, and career or life transitions. Reggie also helps people dealing with LGBT concerns, ADHD, grief, parenting strain, and anger or self-esteem struggles.
Reggie uses a straightforward, person-focused approach that centers the client's perspective. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. He draws on Client-Centered methods to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns, and Psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-term patterns that influence current life.
In practice he works with people who are navigating early adult pressures - leaving home, first jobs, study stress, relationship shifts, and feeling behind peers. Conversations aim to make daily life more manageable and to clarify choices about work, relationships, and identity. Reggie frames problems in plain language and works toward concrete changes.
He welcomes discussion about boundaries, coping strategies, and practical tools for stress and mood management. Sessions often include skill-building, exploring past patterns that repeat, and experimenting with small behavior changes. Reggie also supports people sorting through complicated feelings tied to family of origin, infidelity, or sexual identity.
Outside of counseling he enjoys working out, walking, food, and music. The focus in sessions is on what matters now and what next steps look like for each person.
How his approaches translate to online work
Reggie uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and center the person's goals. This approach focuses on understanding the client's perspective and building a collaborative plan based on what the client says matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to practice small, concrete changes. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and habits that interfere with study or work.
Psychodynamic therapy looks at repeated patterns and how past relationships influence current choices. This approach can help people notice where old reactions show up and try different responses in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Reggie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, and together they will adjust methods as needed. The emphasis is on trying things that fit the person’s life and checking in on what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the currently offered session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, allow quieter or audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited, and reduce travel time so therapy can align with study or work hours.
