About Jonathan
Jonathan Semro is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with four years of counseling experience and a long prior history as a Christian pastor. He works with people facing grief and ADHD and also focuses on issues such as communication problems, caregiver stress, fatherhood concerns, and mood disorders. Sessions are conducted in English and his practice is based in Texas.
He uses clear, structured methods to address everyday difficulties. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to notice unhelpful thoughts and build different responses. He also offers client-centered listening and has experience with EMDR for trauma-related work.
His background includes 24 years as a pastor followed by formal counseling training and practice as an LPC. That mix influences how he talks about values, meaning, and choices in sessions. He will offer faith-based options if a person wants them and will follow other approaches if preferred.
In sessions he focuses on concrete steps people can try between meetings. That can include tracking thoughts, testing new behaviors, and practicing short mindfulness or acceptance skills. He encourages clients to set their own goals and to steer the pace of work.
People who prefer direct, practical strategies and occasional discussion of values may find this approach helpful. Those interested in exploring grief, ADHD-related challenges, or trauma responses can expect a blend of structured techniques and listening to personal stories.
How Jonathan Uses Structured Approaches in Remote Sessions
Jonathan blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with client-centered listening. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change how situations feel. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and values and taking committed action toward what matters. Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's priorities while clarifying goals.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss which methods fit a person's goals, symptoms, and preferences and adjust plans as work progresses. The client helps set goals and decides whether faith-based options should be part of sessions.
The practical gains of remote work are about fitting sessions into everyday life. Confirm the current online session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Remote sessions can help people keep appointments around work, reduce travel time, and make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins when needed. Those benefits can make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to build consistent routines without promising a specific format.
