Jeremy Pugh , LPC

Jeremy Pugh is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of clinical experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, and addiction. He understands how overwhelming emotions can make everyday tasks feel unmanageable and how unregulated feelings can lead to impulsive reactions or a sense of being lost. Jeremy works with individuals and families facing a wide range of concerns - from stress, intimacy-related struggles, and parenting challenges to more complex issues such as bipolar disorder, substance use, and chronic pain or illness. He also offers support for identity and attachment matters, body image, sleep and eating concerns, and the impact of caregiving and compassion fatigue.

Jeremy brings an open, warm, and empathic yet direct style to therapy, emphasizing dignity and respect for people of all races, genders, ages, spiritual backgrounds, political views, and sexual identities. His approach is nonjudgmental and collaborative, tailoring interventions to each person’s goals and strengths. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to help clients build coping skills, improve relationships, and work toward meaningful change.

Jeremy acknowledges the courage it takes to seek help and offers a steady, respectful presence to support healing and personal growth. He aims to empower people to reclaim enjoyment in their lives and to strengthen connections with themselves and others.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the individual’s own goals and values guide the work. It helps people build self-understanding, confidence, and stronger relationships by emphasizing empathy and collaboration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more adaptive patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for intense emotions, impulsive behaviors, and relationship instability.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jeremy works collaboratively with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors techniques from these approaches to find the best fit. The client and therapist make decisions together about what methods will be most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, through live chat, or by text-based messaging. This variety allows people to access therapy from different locations, schedule around work and family commitments, and continue care when life circumstances change, while still working with licensed professionals who use established therapeutic methods.
