About Jeremy

Jeremy Pugh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship stress. He writes plainly about feelings that overwhelm daily life and offers steady support when tasks feel out of reach. Jeremy centers on thoughts and everyday habits that shape how people cope. He keeps sessions warm and direct, giving space to name emotions and notice patterns in thinking and behavior. Jeremy uses Client-Centered techniques to listen and validate, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and routines, and Motivational Interviewing to build the will to change. Mindfulness ideas are layered in to help with overwhelming moments. Jeremy emphasizes respect for each person’s identity and values. He avoids judgment and works with people from different backgrounds and orientations. In session he focuses on simple, practical steps - small behavior changes and manageable thinking exercises that can be used between meetings. Across 16 years in practice he has supported people through trauma, grief, addiction, parenting strains, and career stress. He pays attention to how family history and attachment patterns affect current relationships and coping. Sessions often look at triggers, daily habits, and communication problems. If someone wants clear, compassionate guidance, Jeremy aims to help them notice patterns and try concrete strategies. He encourages pacing goals to match each person’s life and resources.

How Jeremy’s approaches translate online

Jeremy often uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through feelings and clarify goals. This approach focuses on listening and reflecting to help someone feel heard and seen.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits. CBT in practice means noticing patterns, trying small behavior experiments, and using practical exercises to shift thinking that reinforces anxiety or low mood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy elements are used to build emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills when emotions feel overwhelming. These skills help reduce impulsive reactions and provide concrete coping strategies for intense moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and can adjust the plan over time based on what is helpful.

Confirm current session options before booking to learn which online formats are supported. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. Different formats can also make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and keep continuity when schedules change.
