About Laronne
Laronne James is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years in mental health work. She brings a background that began in criminal justice and addictions, and she has supported people across many settings.

She started in criminal justice and worked with people facing substance issues and legal challenges. Over time she supported people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and collaborated with psychiatrists as a team leader.
Background and approach
She also spent time in an intensive outpatient psychiatric program during her internship. After licensure she joined a social service agency to widen the kinds of concerns she could address. She now helps people dealing with trauma, grief, major life changes, depression, and issues around substance use.
She is comfortable working with a range of cultural backgrounds and life situations. Her main clinical approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on practical skills and short-term goals. She also uses a Client-Centered stance that centers each person’s own goals and pace.
Together these approaches aim to give concrete tools while honoring what matters most to the individual. Laronne describes herself as action-oriented and collaborative. She works with clients to set clear goals and develop steps to reach them.
The focus is on helping people manage anxiety, cope with change, and build routines that support better sleep, mood, and relationships.
How her approaches work online and what to expect
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist offers empathy, reflects what she hears, and supports each person in setting their own goals. This approach helps when someone needs space to process feelings and decide what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes practical steps and skills. It helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. CBT is often used for worry, panic, sleep problems, and patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try strategies, and adjust as needed. Together they decide which methods fit the client's needs, preferences, and pace.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people meet face to face, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quicker check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different formats to see what helps most.
