About Reggie
Reggie Thirus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical support for everyday challenges. He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, relationship concerns, addiction, and identity questions. Reggie speaks English and sees clients in Wisconsin while also working with international clients online.
Reggie uses a warm, empathic approach that centers the person in the room. He listens for what matters to each client and helps set clear, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions look different depending on the need - some conversations aim to change unhelpful thinking patterns, while others dig into deeper life patterns that keep repeating. His methods draw on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. That means Reggie balances practical tools with time to make sense of personal history and relationship patterns.
He tends to keep sessions straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change. With six years of counseling experience and a longer background in helping professions, Reggie brings both skill and real-world perspective. He supports people facing grief, parenting challenges, sexuality and gender concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood shifts, and work or career stress.
Outside of work he enjoys exercise, walking, food, and music. Those interests shape a down-to-earth, relatable style that many people find easy to talk with when they are working through life changes.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Reggie uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's goals lead each session. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what changes matter most.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical for worries, anxiety, mood challenges, and managing stressful parenting moments.
The therapist will work collaboratively to find the right mix of approaches. Together they will set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Deciding which approaches to use is part of the therapy process and depends on the client's needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people keep visual connection and read nonverbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a quick check-in during a break. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter, flexible contact or ongoing coaching-like support. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, parenting, or travel schedules.
