About Jonathan

Jonathan Semro is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with four years of counseling experience and a long history of helping people navigate hard moments. He combines practical talk therapy with straightforward tools so people can manage grief, ADHD, mood struggles, and relationship challenges. Jonathan speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel manageable for someone already tired by life.

Before becoming an LPC he spent many years in pastoral work, where he listened to people during loss and life transitions.

Background and approach

That background shapes how he listens now: with patience and respect for each person’s story. He offers both faith-informed and non-faith options and lets clients choose what fits them. In sessions he uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice patterns, try small experiments, and build skills that actually fit their daily life.

He also draws on EMDR for trauma-related concerns when it seems appropriate. Jonathan tends to work in a collaborative way. He will ask what matters to the client, set clear goals together, and check in about progress.

He emphasizes short, practical steps so people feel a sense of movement between appointments. People who often reach out are coping with grief, ADHD challenges, communication problems, caregiver stress, or difficulty finding purpose after a major life change. Jonathan also supports men facing shame or fatherhood questions and young adults adjusting to life transitions.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online through video, phone, chat, or messaging formats. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to start and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online

Jonathan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems active and then test small changes that can improve daily functioning. CBT is helpful for mood disorders, anxiety, and some ADHD-related challenges where routines and thought habits get in the way.

He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying values and taking actions that matter despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. ACT can help people move toward a more meaningful day-to-day life when worry, guilt, or avoidance are limiting choices.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jonathan will listen to what is most pressing, talk through options, and try methods that match the client's goals and preferences. He will check in and adjust the plan as work progresses so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video lets people work face to face when they prefer it. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier during a busy day. Chat or messaging is useful for shorter check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving duties, or a changing routine.
