About Reggie

Reggie Thirus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related concerns. He also works with people coping with depression, grief, addiction, career strain, ADHD, and identity issues. Reggie writes and talks plainly in sessions and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

He uses a client-centered style that starts with listening. Reggie helps people set clear, realistic goals and adjusts the pace to match what feels doable. He also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify thinking patterns that maintain distress and on psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing relationship and family patterns.

Reggie has six years of counseling experience and holds an LPC license in Wisconsin. He frames work as practical and collaborative, so clients leave with tools they can use between meetings. Sessions often focus on problem-solving, building coping skills, and improving communication around intimacy and relationship issues.

People bring many kinds of struggles, from anger and impulsivity to identity and sexual concerns. Reggie pays attention to how past experiences shape current behavior and to immediate steps someone can take to feel better. He keeps explanations simple and checks in about what is working as treatment continues.

Outside of his counseling work, Reggie enjoys working out, walking, good food, and music. That personal side helps him stay grounded and present for the people he supports.

How his approaches translate to online care

Reggie uses a client-centered approach that puts a person's goals first and emphasizes listening and collaboration. This helps shape plans that fit day-to-day life and relationship needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can produce clear, practical steps to manage anxiety, mood, or stress. Psychodynamic ideas look at how past relationships influence current patterns, useful for intimacy and attachment concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Reggie will discuss options with each person and adapt methods to match their goals and preferences. He checks in regularly and adjusts plans if a technique is not helping or if priorities change.

The original biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, cut down on travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people work with a licensed professional in Wisconsin even if they are located elsewhere, though logistics should be confirmed during scheduling.
