About James
James Herrington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who centers sessions on the person sitting across from him. He uses clear, practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. James aims to make talking about hard things straightforward and calm so parents and individuals feel heard.
He draws from client-centered work to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of coping. He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and trauma-focused approaches when past events continue to cause distress. Sessions tend to focus on small, doable steps.
That might mean practicing new ways to talk during tense moments, testing a different thought, or working through painful memories at a steady pace. James explains each option and checks in about what feels right for the person in front of him. He brings five years of professional experience to the work and keeps explanations simple.
Parents reading on a phone will find direct language and clear next steps rather than clinical jargon. People can expect practical strategies for coping, stronger communication skills, and help sorting through grief, addiction struggles, or major life changes. James encourages collaborative goal-setting so progress fits each person's life and timing.

Online support
How EMDR, CBT, and Client-Centered Work Fit Online
James blends client-centered care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR-style trauma work to address current distress and past events. Client-centered work means sessions start with the person's concerns and priorities, and the therapist listens closely to what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. EMDR and trauma-focused approaches are used to process painful memories that keep causing strong reactions, and they are paced to match what each person can manage.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. James will talk through options, try a short exercise, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. The goal is to match techniques to a person's needs, goals, and comfort level rather than assume one method for everyone.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for conversational work and some EMDR tasks when both people can use a stable connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules and different ways of engaging in therapy.
