How Does Psychotherapy Work?
Psychotherapy is a structured, evidence-based approach to addressing emotional and mental health challenges through guided conversation and proven strategies. Unlike general talk therapy, which can refer to various support methods, psychotherapy involves specific psychotherapy techniques, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, and solution-focused therapy. Patients in Columbia, SC work with trained professionals to better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and to develop healthier coping skills over time. This personalized process helps patients manage symptoms, improve relationships, and build long-term emotional resilience.

Living Healthy Body and Mind Reviews
As a neurodivergent parent finding someone equipped and educated in ways to help my children can be a struggle. Dr. Thompson has been a blessing to my family. Though not officially advertised I took a chance calling to see if she would be willing to help my son who suffers from very severe anxiety. She quickly said yes and got us an appointment very fast. She’s amazing with my son and I would suggest her to anyone looking for a caring, patient, and compassionate doctor.
Honestly, I am SO pleased and happy that I found doctor Thompson. She has listened like no other doctor has before. And has really worked with me on getting my issues taken care of. 10000000% recommend this office.
My personal experience with Doctor Kristy Thompson has been amazing. Doc Thompson is very supportive, responds quickly to patients needs/care and is very organized. On my most difficult days with the mental health battles I face, the work/school excuse notes that she provides definitely grant me some of the needed time-outs from already high stress and gloom. I definitely feel valued and supported throughout her entire process and way that she provides care. Doctor Thompson is skilled and diverse in her practices. Appointments are a breeze to schedule through her website and she has always been reliable and helpful. I would definitely recommend this establishment to anyone in need of tele health care.
I’m very surprised Dr. Thompson doesn’t have more reviews! She’s an amazing & caring doctor!!! ❤️ She is always available for her patients even outside of scheduled appointments and you can tell the this profession has not caused her to lose her Livi g nature which is awesome!! If I could give her 1000000 stars I would!!
Kristy Thompson has extensive knowledge in the field of medicine and her knowledge is well rounded. She has served as a clinical Nurse and having served for years also as a Nurse Case Manager with one of the largest Case Management companies she has developed caring expert skills in her current position as Nurse Practitioner.
