About Reggie

Reggie Thirus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin who aims to help people make meaningful changes in their lives. He speaks plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters most to each person. Reggie encourages clients to take the first step toward feeling more fulfilled and less stuck.

He uses a client-centered approach that focuses on the person's own goals and experiences. He also draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to help with patterns of thought and behavior, plus psychodynamic perspective to look at longer-standing patterns that affect current life. Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit each person's needs.

Reggie has six years of counseling experience and additional background in helping roles that spans more than a decade. He frames therapy as practical work - talking through problems, identifying small changes, and trying new ways of coping. He also helps people set clear goals and track progress over time.

People bring many concerns to his work, including anxiety, depression, relationship trouble, trauma and issues related to identity and intimacy. He also supports people facing addiction, career stress, parenting strain, grief, and life transitions. Reggie aims to create an inclusive space where people feel respected and heard.

Outside of counseling he enjoys workouts, walking, food, and music. He emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental presence and steady support while clients figure out practical next steps.

How Reggie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Reggie uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on understanding each person's perspective and goals and helping them guide the pace of work. This approach helps when people need a respectful, listening space to sort out feelings and decisions.

He also uses cognitive-behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. That method is useful for learning skills and tracking changes between sessions. Psychodynamic ideas are used to identify recurring patterns that may show up in current relationships and choices, offering a longer view on why certain problems repeat.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that fit each person's goals, preferences, and needs, and will adjust those choices over time based on what helps most.
