About James

James Herrington is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with five years of practice in Texas who emphasizes evidence-informed approaches to help people move through difficult emotional experiences.

Background and approach

He blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and life transitions. His work also incorporates trauma-focused methods and EMDR when addressing trauma, abuse, and post-traumatic stress.

Herrington brings focused experience supporting individuals facing relationship strain, family conflict, grief, addiction, and concerns around intimacy or parenting. He aims to create a welcoming therapeutic atmosphere that encourages honest exploration of feelings like shame, guilt, anger, or isolation while collaboratively developing strategies for coping and growth.

Clients work with him to clarify values, improve communication, and take concrete steps toward more satisfying daily functioning. He accepts clients in English and is available to international clients.

His practice offers multiple online session formats to accommodate varied schedules, and he supports people who are ready to take the first steps toward change by working alongside them with practical tools and empathic guidance.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

James Herrington uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients examine and shift unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. He also integrates trauma-focused therapy and EMDR techniques when past traumatic experiences are central to a person's struggles, which can help reduce the intensity of trauma-related symptoms and support recovery.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to learn about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then adapts methods over time so the treatment aligns with what the client needs and finds helpful. Clients and therapist evaluate progress together and adjust focus as new priorities emerge.

Online therapy with him is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and revisit tools between meetings through written messages or live chat support.
