Jeremy Pugh, LPC

Jeremy Pugh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addiction. He also supports those navigating relationship struggles, parenting pressures, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, and life changes. Jeremy uses a straightforward, respectful style that aims to make difficult problems easier to talk about and manage.

He keeps sessions warm and nonjudgmental while staying direct when needed. Jeremy focuses on helping clients name feelings, spot unhelpful patterns, and practice small changes that add up. He adapts his approach to fit each person rather than using the same plan for everyone.

Over 16 years of practice have shaped his work with people coping with loss, chronic pain or illness, family-of-origin issues, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem. He draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Imago Relationship Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to meet different needs.

In sessions Jeremy often combines gentle listening with practical skills training. That might mean learning ways to manage intense emotions, improving communication, or breaking down big goals into doable steps. He encourages steady progress and realistic expectations.

People who choose Jeremy can expect a collaborative relationship that balances empathy with clear feedback. He welcomes clients who want to work on coping skills, rebuild relationships, or find steadier footing after a major life event.

How certain approaches translate to online work

Jeremy uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client's experience and perspective, offering a listening stance that helps people feel heard and understood as they talk through difficult emotions. This approach is useful for grief, loneliness, and moments when someone feels overwhelmed by their feelings.

He also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to teach concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties. CBT techniques are often practiced between sessions as small, doable tasks.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Jeremy works with clients to choose which approaches to try based on symptoms, goals, and personal preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online appointments, confirm the available session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Different approaches lend themselves to different rhythms - some clients use brief weekly check-ins for skills practice while others schedule longer sessions to process trauma or grief.
