James Herrington, LPC

James Herrington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress and anxiety. He combines clear, goal-focused techniques with a respectful, client-centered manner. James keeps sessions straightforward so parents and busy adults can focus on real change. He invites a calm, open space to talk about difficult things without judgment.

With five years of clinical experience, James works with a wide range of concerns. He helps people facing depression, grief, mood disorders, and addictions. He also supports those dealing with trauma and post-traumatic stress, and people struggling with intimacy, anger, and self-esteem.

James pays attention to relationship and family problems from an individual perspective. He helps people navigate communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and the strain of parenting. He also addresses abandonment, attachment struggles, and isolation or loneliness.

Therapy tends to focus on practical steps that fit day-to-day life. James uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. He pairs that with client-centered listening and trauma-focused tools when past harm gets in the way of functioning.

Sessions may include conversations about life purpose, money worries, and sexual or intimacy-related concerns. He aims to help people build better coping skills and clearer plans for next steps. The approach is collaborative, paced to each person, and centered on what matters most to them.

Approach-focused care delivered online

James uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT sessions often include practical exercises and homework to build new habits and coping skills.

He also uses EMDR for clients who have trauma that continues to affect daily life. EMDR involves structured processing of traumatic memories with techniques that aim to reduce the emotional charge of those memories and improve functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. James discusses goals and preferences with each person and tailors methods to fit their situation. This makes therapy a collaborative process where the client’s needs guide the plan.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible ways to touch base between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity across locations.
