About Jeremy
Jeremy Pugh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who helps people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and relationship struggles. He writes in plain terms and focuses on making overwhelming feelings easier to name and manage. Jeremy aims to create a respectful place where clients can talk through what feels stuck and find clearer next steps.
He uses a warm, direct style in sessions. Jeremy listens first and then works with each person to set practical goals. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and Motivational Interviewing to strengthen motivation for change.
Jeremy has 16 years of experience as an LPC in Texas. That background gives him familiarity with common patterns in mood, anxiety, and relationship concerns. He supports people working through grief, trauma, intimacy issues, parenting strain, and substance use questions among other concerns.
Sessions focus on small, doable steps rather than big sudden shifts. Jeremy helps people learn skills for emotional regulation, improve communication, and make decisions that match their values. He pays attention to how life stress, ADHD, and chronic illness or pain can affect daily functioning.
The approach is collaborative: clients and therapist pick what to try and adjust based on results. Jeremy works in English and does not take international clients. To begin, people choose a plan, fill a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

How Jeremy Uses Therapy Models Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client’s concerns and priorities. The therapist offers empathic listening and reflects what clients say so they can better understand their emotions and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses simple experiments and practice to change patterns that cause distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation and coping, useful for strong mood swings or impulsive reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jeremy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then he and the client try specific techniques and adjust the plan based on what fits and what leads to steady progress.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that helps. It can also let people practice skills between appointments and bring real-life situations into conversation. Licensed professionals aim to match session pace and tools to everyday life and goals rather than promising a single outcome.
