About Jeremy

Jeremy Pugh is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship problems. He talks plainly about feelings and behaviors so overwhelmed parents can make sense of day-to-day struggles. Jeremy offers a calm, direct style that aims to reduce urgency and create small, manageable steps forward.

He uses straightforward, evidence-based tools to address issues like sleep trouble, anger, low self-esteem, and parenting stress.

Background and approach

He also works with people dealing with trauma, intimacy worries, and identity concerns. Sessions focus on concrete skills and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Jeremy draws from Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions feel respectful and collaborative.

He pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that make symptoms worse. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed. With 16 years of experience, Jeremy emphasizes clear communication and practical strategies that fit daily life.

He aims to help people find relief, improve relationships, and regain a sense of control. The tone in sessions is warm but direct, and goals are shaped together with each person. Jeremy practices in Texas and holds the LPC credential.

He offers sessions in English and provides several online formats to fit different schedules. Parents looking for help with family or parenting concerns can expect an approach that names problems plainly and builds skills to handle them.

How Jeremy’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person and their goals, creating a respectful space where the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead. This method helps people who need understanding and support while they sort through feelings and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches simple skills to notice unhelpful thinking and try different actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating problems.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. These skills are useful when emotions feel intense or when someone struggles with impulsive reactions.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will try methods that feel like a good fit and adjust as work progresses.

Online therapy with Jeremy uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options let people work on skills between busy days, join sessions from home, and pick the format that fits their routine.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
