Laronne James

Laronne James is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 14 years working in the mental health field. She began her career in criminal justice and addictions work and later completed clinical internships in intensive outpatient psychiatric care. Her background includes work with people who have intellectual and developmental differences and with those navigating substance use challenges.

James often uses straightforward, practical techniques in sessions. She favors Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and actions. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the sessions focused on each person's goals and pace.

Clients typically come with concerns like stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, addiction, trauma, sleep problems, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports people facing life transitions such as retirement, disability, or other major changes. Work with LGBT concerns and long-term recovery from substance use are part of her experience.

In session she aims to give concrete tools people can use between visits. Conversations are collaborative and practical. Sessions may include skill practice, thought tracking, and planning small behavior changes to test what works.

Her history includes roles in hospitals, social service agencies, and coordinated care teams with psychiatrists. That range informs a flexible approach that balances short-term goals and deeper personal work. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person sets the pace and goals. This approach helps when someone needs support sorting priorities, talking through feelings, or clarifying what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, sleep issues, and coping with life changes because it teaches concrete skills to practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what is helpful. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Session options are not listed here. Please confirm current session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, shorten commute times, and allow regular check-ins from different locations. It can also let people use tools like worksheets, brief skill practices, and mood tracking between visits to keep progress moving.
