About James
James Herrington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who uses a calm, practical approach to help people manage strong emotions and life stress. He focuses on making therapy straightforward and approachable for people feeling overwhelmed by anger, anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship strains. He keeps sessions centered on what matters most to the client.
That means talking about specific situations, noticing patterns of thought and behavior, and trying new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a pace set by the person who is seeking help. Herrington draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the client's perspective. He also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses.
For clients with trauma, he incorporates trauma-focused work and EMDR techniques when appropriate to address intense memories and reactions. Across issues like parenting stress, addiction concerns, intimacy-related struggles, or problems with control and communication, he aims to make therapy useful and concrete. He helps people develop clearer goals, practice new skills, and build routines that reduce overwhelm.
He has five years of clinical experience and offers sessions in English. People can work with him remotely from Texas, and he accepts international clients. The emphasis is on steady progress and practical steps rather than quick fixes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own goals and perspective. It involves listening closely, reflecting what the client shares, and helping the person steer each session toward what feels most important. This approach is helpful for people who need a supportive space to sort through emotions like anger, grief, or low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, anger management, mood issues, and relationship patterns.
EMDR and trauma-focused work address intense memories and their lasting impact. These methods involve structured steps to reduce the hold of traumatic memories and to build coping skills. They can be useful for people whose day-to-day reactions are shaped by past trauma.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the person, and adjust as progress is made. Decisions about using CBT techniques, client-centered work, or trauma-focused tools happen together, based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
