Do you mind expanding on how to do this, or pointing me to a place that
explains?

I mean an encapsulated object (usually defined using the C++ "Class"
keyword) that can be created with "new" and where I can create multiple
instances in different threads without worrying about stomping on global
variables.

Yes, C is nice for lots of stuff, but we have a large C++ code base, and I'm
not really familiar with dealing with Thread safety and multiple instances
in C.
