Question Reverse Thrust & X/Winds

On a number of threads I have read that on landing with a significant crosswind, some pilots use asymmetric reverse thrust (if I have understood correctly) to prevent runway excursions.

Not having flown a jet I would like to understand what how exactly this is done. I presume reverse thrust is selected on the downwind side engine to offset weathercocking but I stand to be corrected.
