About Reggie

Reggie Thirus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who focuses on men's wellbeing among other concerns. He offers straightforward, accepting support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, and life transitions. Reggie aims to help clients take practical steps toward a more fulfilling life in a way that fits their goals and values.

Reggie uses a mix of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and psychodynamic thinking to shape sessions. That means he listens closely, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and looks at how past experiences affect present choices. He works collaboratively to set goals that match each person’s needs.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Reggie focuses on clear steps people can use between meetings, such as small behavior changes, thought checks, or shifts in communication. He also addresses complex topics like trauma, grief, anger, and issues tied to identity or sexual expression.

With six years of counseling experience and prior time in helping roles, he brings practical experience rather than abstract theory. Reggie balances empathy with direct feedback so clients can try new ways of coping and see if they work.

Outside of work he enjoys working out, walking, music, and exploring good food. He encourages people to take that first brave step of reaching out and starting the process toward change.

Approaches that shape online conversations

Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding a person's goals and values. In sessions the therapist reflects what matters to you and helps you set goals that feel relevant to daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It uses exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns that come from earlier relationships and experiences. It can help people make sense of repeating patterns in relationships, work, or self-image.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences. Together you decide whether to focus on skill-building, exploring past patterns, or a mix of both, and you can adjust that plan over time.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also gives flexibility to choose face-to-face style conversations or more structured skills practice depending on what helps you meet your goals.
