About Vernon
Vernon Wiggins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 11 years of experience working in mental health. He helps people facing problems such as anger, depression, anxiety, relationship strain, and questions about sexual identity. His approach is direct and practical, focused on clear goals rather than long, vague talk.
He values forming a straightforward working relationship. Vernon asks what the main problems are and addresses them plainly. He uses ideas from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral thinking, existential questions, mindfulness, and solution-focused methods to shape sessions.
In practice he helps people manage stress, grief, problems with intimacy, sleep, parenting challenges, and life changes. He also supports people dealing with addiction, ADHD, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. Vernon sees issues related to attachment, communication, control, body image, and diverse sexual expression among his focus areas.
Sessions are goal oriented and candid. Vernon aims to identify patterns that keep problems repeating and then test small changes in thinking or behavior. He mixes short-term strategies with space for deeper reflection when that fits the person's needs.
People who prefer clear feedback and practical steps tend to find his style useful. He practices in Texas and conducts work in English. The first step is a brief matching process and then scheduling an initial session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people feel understood while they decide what matters most. It supports work on relationship struggles, identity questions, and self-esteem by centering the client's perspective.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going. It uses concrete exercises and small behavior changes to address anger, anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood.
Existential Therapy raises questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility. It can help when someone faces major life changes, career doubts, or struggles with purpose and commitment.
Finding the right mix of these methods is a collaborative process. Vernon will talk with a client about goals and try approaches that fit their needs and preferences. He adapts techniques as progress is tracked and as priorities shift.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find remote work easier to fit into a busy week, to make shorter check-ins during a workday, or to avoid travel time. Ask about the session setup when you schedule so practical arrangements match your routine and goals.
