Jonathan Semro, LPC

Jonathan Semro is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who works primarily with grief and ADHD while also supporting clients facing a range of related concerns such as caregiver stress, fatherhood issues, isolation, mood disorders, and life purpose. He combines professional counseling training with a long background in pastoral work, bringing both practical therapy skills and an understanding of how faith can play a role in healing when clients desire that option.

Having served in ministry for many years before entering professional counseling, he now uses evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR trauma work, solution-focused techniques, and Internal Family Systems interventions. He strives to listen without judgment, help clients clarify goals, and tailor sessions to each person’s unique story and needs. Clients remain in control of their goals and the direction of therapy, and he offers both faith-informed and secular approaches depending on what the client prefers.

As an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor - he provides clinical care in English to individuals in Texas, focusing on practical strategies and compassionate support to navigate loss, neurodiversity-related challenges, relationship communication, and the emotional impacts of caregiving and life transitions.

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Remotely

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take meaningful steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for managing anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions by building psychological flexibility and values-driven action.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It provides practical tools for mood disorders, stress, and communication difficulties by teaching skills to reframe thoughts and develop healthier habits.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity. It is often used when past events continue to affect daily functioning and well-being.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of therapy. Jonathan works with clients to assess needs, set goals, and choose methods that fit their preferences and circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives and can make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations. These options support continuity of care and allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that suit their schedule and communication style.
