Jeremy Pugh

Jeremy Pugh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, trauma, and addictions. He also supports concerns like self-esteem, parenting strain, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Jeremy writes plainly and listens closely so clients feel heard and understood. Jeremy uses a warm, direct style in sessions. He aims to help people name and manage intense emotions so daily tasks feel less overwhelming. He works with clients on impulsive reactions, communication problems, and patterns that make relationships painful. He also helps people find clearer choices when addiction or grief makes them feel trapped. His approach is flexible and collaborative. Jeremy draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s pace, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thinking, and Motivational Interviewing to build motivation for change. He emphasizes practical skills people can try between sessions. Jeremy treats each person with respect regardless of race, gender, age, spiritual belief, political view, or sexual identity. He aims to create a nonjudgmental space where difficult feelings can be discussed honestly. The therapeutic relationship is central to how he works. After an initial conversation, Jeremy focuses on concrete goals and manageable steps. He helps people practice new behaviors, improve communication, and build routines for better sleep and coping. His work is aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes. If someone wants to begin, Jeremy asks for a short description of current concerns and goals so sessions can start with a clear plan and realistic next steps.

How these approaches fit into online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. Online sessions can still allow this pace, with the therapist checking in and reflecting so clients feel understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change them. CBT works well online because worksheets, thought records, and practice tasks can be shared and reviewed together. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These skills can be learned and rehearsed in virtual sessions and practiced between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeremy will help figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new issues arise.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to practice new communication skills in everyday life and to review written materials together during a session.
