01About Christopher
Christopher Thrift is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Mississippi with eight years of experience. He focuses on helping people navigate addiction, mood concerns, grief, and relationship strain. Christopher builds straightforward, supportive sessions where people can say what they actually feel and think.
He centers sessions on the person in front of him. That means listening first, then working together on clear goals. He uses practical tools and conversation to help people manage strong feelings like anger, anxiety, or depression.
Background and approach
Christopher often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try new ways of responding. He also follows a client-centered approach that values the person's pace and priorities. Both approaches are used to address problems such as sleep disruption, compulsive behaviors, or problems with drinking and drugs.
Sessions commonly look like a mix of gentle challenge and problem-solving. People can expect to talk through recent events, try small behavioral changes, and practice ways to handle intense emotions. He pays attention to issues like parenting stress, career strain, and questions about life purpose.
He welcomes people who want practical steps and honest conversation. Christopher supports those facing trauma and loss, obsessive thoughts, or difficulty with social anxiety. The overall aim is clearer thinking and more manageable day-to-day routines.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches in online care
Christopher uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the person's pace and priorities so they can explore feelings without pressure. This approach is useful for people who need time to open up or want a supportive space to sort through life events.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, which identifies unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with practical strategies. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, obsessive patterns, sleep problems, and addictive behaviors because it emphasizes small, doable changes.
Choosing the right method is a team effort. Christopher will talk with the person about their goals, what has helped before, and what feels most comfortable. Together they adjust the approach as progress is made and needs shift.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video lets people see facial cues during deeper conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, and text or chat can work for short check-ins or when writing feels more natural. These options make it easier to keep consistent progress while balancing work, parenting, or travel.
