About Laronne
Laronne James is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, trauma, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, and related challenges. Laronne also supports those navigating life changes, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and intimacy or self-esteem concerns.
She began in criminal justice and addictions work, then spent years supporting people with intellectual and developmental differences alongside psychiatric teams. That background shaped her practical approach to behavioral problems and substance-related issues.
During her clinical training she worked in a psychiatric hospital intensive outpatient program. After licensure she moved into social services to broaden the range of people she sees. She often works with people dealing with retirement, disability, loss, or transitions that unsettle daily life.
Laronne uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She favors CBT for its action-oriented tools that people can use between sessions. Her style is direct and focused on concrete strategies for daily problems such as sleep, anger, or substance use.
Sessions focus on identifying patterns, practicing new skills, and setting small goals. She helps people translate therapy ideas into everyday steps they can try at home or at work. Her work reflects a mix of real-world experience and clinical practice.
How her approaches translate to online work
Laronne uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in straightforward ways that translate well to remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns so they can set the pace. It helps people clarify what matters most and decide what to work on next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. That makes it easy to practice specific skills between sessions, such as breathing techniques, sleep habits, or testing unhelpful thoughts. CBT is often used for anger, anxiety, depression, and substance-related behavior because it emphasizes concrete steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that match a person's goals, needs, and daily routine. She will suggest small, doable exercises and check progress together so adjustments can be made.
