About Gage
Gage Herrington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience. He works with people facing trauma, abuse, anger, and self-harm thoughts, and has clinical experience with mood disorders including bipolar disorder and other persistent mental illnesses.
He focuses on straightforward, practical conversations. Sessions cover ways to notice triggers, calm escalating feelings, and change patterns that lead to angry outbursts. He also addresses grief, eating concerns, parenting stress, and major life transitions when those areas tie into a person's emotional health.
Gage adapts his approach to each person's situation. That can mean shorter skills-focused sessions or more in-depth work on longstanding problems. He brings experience in supporting people who have faced sexual assault, discrimination, and communication breakdowns in relationships.
He includes coaching elements when helpful, aiming to make skills usable in daily life. This can look like practice assignments, role plays, or checking progress between sessions. Gage also works with people dealing with intellectual disability and complex personality or behavioral concerns.
People who want direct guidance on managing anger or who need steady support through grief or mood disorder symptoms may find his way of working helpful. To begin, clients use the site's matching and scheduling tools to set up an initial session and discuss goals.
Approaches that guide online work
Gage uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical skills and symptom management. One common strand is skills training for managing strong emotions - teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step strategies to reduce escalation and respond differently to triggers. That approach is useful for anger, panic, and moments of intense distress.He also applies problem-solving and coaching-style work to help with life transitions, parenting stress, and mood management. This involves setting clear, achievable goals, trying out new behaviors between sessions, and reviewing what does and does not work. These approaches help people turn therapy insights into daily habits.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what fits the client's needs and preferences. Clients and the therapist work together to decide whether more skills-focused sessions or deeper clinical work makes sense.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid needing travel time.
