About Vernon

Vernon Wiggins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a direct, to-the-point style. He focuses on identifying problems clearly and working on them in straightforward ways. Vernon emphasizes building a respectful working relationship while keeping goals in view.

He draws on Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Existential, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused approaches. Vernon blends these perspectives to match the needs of each person. That means sessions may include talking through patterns, testing new behaviors, and practicing ways to manage difficult feelings.

Vernon has eleven years of experience listed for his current practice and has worked across a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, addiction, grief, and trauma. He also addresses identity and intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and relationship and family concerns. Vernon names additional focus areas like attachment, abandonment, body image, and communication problems.

In sessions he tends to be clear and practical. He prioritizes understanding what matters to the person and then works toward change. That can mean brief coaching-style conversations or deeper exploration depending on what the person needs.

Vernon practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. He supports people who want candid, goal-oriented therapy and who appreciate a therapist who will be honest about the work ahead.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Vernon uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core approaches. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own direction. It can be useful for identity questions, grief, and low self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Vernon aims to collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt sessions over time as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try a therapist’s approach from wherever they are located in Texas, while the therapist and client work together on clear, practical steps toward the client’s goals.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
