About Vernon

Vernon Wiggins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who brings 11 years of clinical experience to his practice in Texas.

Background and approach

He combines a direct, practical approach with a strong emphasis on building a trustworthy therapeutic relationship, helping clients identify specific concerns and work toward clear goals. Vernon draws on a blend of cognitive, behavioral, humanistic, and existential ideas to tailor interventions to each person's needs, including clients navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and more.

He values straightforward communication and a collaborative stance that honors each client’s identity and life choices. Vernon’s work covers a wide range of concerns from stress and self-esteem to trauma, addiction, and intimacy-related issues, and he integrates solution-focused strategies and mindfulness practices alongside longer-term exploratory work.

Based in Texas, he offers flexible session formats and aims to help people address present struggles while building practical skills for coping and growth.

Using Practical Therapeutic Approaches Online

Vernon blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space so clients can explore values and identity; this approach supports issues like self-esteem, LGBT-related concerns, and coping with life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical strategies and skill-building exercises, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and managing stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Vernon works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in session, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so therapy fits the client rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity across geographic change, and use brief check-ins or longer conversations depending on needs. Vernon uses these options to tailor session structure and pacing, supporting steady progress while accommodating practical life demands.
