Whitney Thompson , LPC

Whitney Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings a calm, empathic presence to work with individuals, couples, and families facing challenges such as relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, parent-child difficulties, co-parenting conflicts, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism, and addiction. With an emphasis on making people feel understood and respected, she aims to create a nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their concerns and build practical coping skills.

Her clinical focus includes couples and family therapy, trauma work, mindfulness-based interventions, and evidence-informed treatment for ADHD. As a parent herself, she understands the complexities of parenting and offers hands-on support for parents navigating behavioral or developmental concerns. Whitney also has experience supporting people in recovery, having worked in 12-step programs, medication-assisted treatment facilities, and group settings, which informs her approach to addiction and relapse prevention.

Whitney blends a collaborative, client-centered stance with structured methods when appropriate, helping people identify patterns, process emotions, and develop healthier relational and coping strategies. Her LPC credential denotes training and licensure to provide professional counseling services in clinical settings.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Whitney Thompson

Whitney Thompson draws on client-centered therapy to place the client's experience at the center of care, offering a supportive, empathic stance that helps people feel heard while they explore goals, values, and personal strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) can be applied in couples and family work to help partners or family members understand emotional needs, rebuild connection, and change interaction patterns that contribute to conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Whitney collaborates with each person or couple to determine which interventions best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure therapies are meaningful and relevant to daily life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work and family commitments, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from a convenient location.
