About Christopher
LPC Christopher Thrift has 8 years of professional experience and is licensed in Mississippi. He focuses on addictions, anger, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and parenting issues. He also addresses sleep problems, self-esteem, career transitions, and trauma and abuse.
Christopher uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in his work. He aims to create an open environment where people can talk about thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Sessions move at a steady pace and focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.
He often helps people who are coping with process or substance addictions, including gambling, exercise, and porn-related problems. He also supports people dealing with relationship breakdowns, separation, fatherhood questions, and communication problems. Issues linked to mood such as bipolar disorder and depression are part of his practice as well.
In sessions that use client-centered methods, the emphasis is on listening and understanding each person's perspective. With CBT, he and the client identify patterns of thinking and behavior and work on concrete strategies to change them. Those two approaches are combined to match what the person needs.
Christopher’s work includes attention to men’s issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. He accepts clients from outside the United States and conducts work in English. To start, readers should confirm the current session formats before booking.

How his approaches work for remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's point of view. In practice this means the therapist reflects back what a person says, asks clarifying questions, and supports people to speak freely about difficult feelings. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and steady, nonjudgmental listening.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions tend to include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing new behaviors, and practicing small experiments between meetings. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive issues, and addiction-related patterns.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can be adjusted over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by removing travel and letting people meet from different locations. They can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or allow phone-only meetings when video is difficult. These practical benefits can make it simpler to keep regular work on goals between sessions.
