About Jeremy

Jeremy Pugh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship struggles. He also supports clients dealing with trauma, intimacy and attachment concerns, and aging and geriatric issues. He practices in English and brings 16 years of experience to his work.

Jeremy keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. He listens first, then works with each person to set clear, practical goals. Conversations focus on naming emotions, spotting unhelpful patterns, and trying small changes that make daily life easier.

His style is warm and direct. He offers a nonjudgmental space while also challenging avoidant patterns and impulsive reactions when needed. He adapts methods to fit what someone needs in the moment rather than using a single fixed approach.

Jeremy draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client's perspective, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift thinking and behavior patterns, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. He also uses elements of Imago Relationship Therapy and mindfulness practices when appropriate.

Over his career he has worked with a range of concerns from caregiving strain to substance use and complicated grief. He encourages small, sustainable steps and partners with people to find realistic ways to cope. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow your pace and priorities, and center whatever matters most to you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns and is often useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeremy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. That choice evolves over time based on progress and comfort, so the plan can change as needed.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support practicing mindfulness and CBT exercises between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt tools so therapy fits into everyday routines without promising a specific outcome.
