About Jonathan

Jonathan Semro, LPC, brings a blend of pastoral experience and clinical training to his counseling work in Texas.

Background and approach

After 24 years serving as a Christian pastor, he transitioned into licensed professional counseling and now applies four years of formal counseling experience to help people navigate grief, ADHD, mood concerns, trauma, and relationship difficulties. He emphasizes listening first and tailoring therapy to each client’s story rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

His style blends evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR trauma work, and client-centered techniques to address issues like isolation, guilt and shame, communication problems, and life purpose. He offers both faith-informed and non-faith approaches depending on the client’s preference and respects the person’s control over their therapy goals.

Jonathan aims to create an accepting, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore change at their own pace. Jonathan also works with concerns related to caregiving stress, fatherhood, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and post-traumatic stress.

He practices in English and holds Texas licensure as an LPC, bringing a practical, collaborative focus to help clients move toward greater clarity and wellbeing.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take committed action toward meaningful goals, focusing on values and present-moment awareness to reduce avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) explores connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides practical skills to manage mood, anxiety, and daily challenges. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that can help reprocess distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge when trauma is part of the clinical picture.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to consider their goals, history, and preferences, and may integrate techniques from different models to find what fits best. This flexible partnership helps tailor interventions to the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different needs and schedules. These formats provide flexibility for people managing work, caregiving, or mobility constraints and make it possible to continue consistent care without travel. Licensed professionals can adapt therapeutic tools to remote formats so clients can practice skills and track progress between meetings.
