About Si
Si Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Idaho who helps people cope with strong emotions and life stress. He works with individuals facing anger, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, and related concerns. Si writes plainly and listens closely so people can talk through what feels hardest right now.
He trained in social work and earned a Master of Social Work (MSW) after completing a Bachelor of Science in psychology.
Background and approach
Over nine years he has worked in schools, wilderness counseling, mentoring in therapeutic residential programs, and community service through AmeriCorps. That mix shaped a practical, down-to-earth style. Sessions focus on understanding what keeps patterns going and finding doable changes.
He uses client-centered work to follow what the person needs, cognitive behavioral techniques to test and change unhelpful thoughts, and narrative and existential ideas to notice meaning and choice. Simple tools like relaxation exercises, journaling, role play, and short written tasks are used when helpful. Si treats each person as an individual and aims for respectful, curious conversation.
He balances challenge with support and brings a straightforward sense of humor when it helps. The goal is clearer self-understanding and practical steps people can use between sessions. People often come for help with anger, sleep problems, intimacy issues, compassion fatigue, or big life transitions.
He also offers support around family-of-origin issues, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and coping after loss or trauma.

Approaches that fit into your life online
Client-centered work focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person, helping them name priorities and choose goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, emotions, and actions and teaches practical exercises to test and shift unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness techniques help people notice their moment-to-moment experience and reduce reactivity to strong emotions like anger.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean leaning more on CBT for sleep or anxiety, using mindfulness for emotional regulation, or exploring existential questions when people want meaning and perspective.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep up between sessions. These options help people maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other demands.
