About Jonathan
Jonathan Semro is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who brings four years of counseling experience to his work. He begins by listening closely and helping each person name what feels most urgent. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical next steps that fit everyday life.
Before becoming an LPC he spent many years in pastoral work, which shaped his skills in listening and supporting people through loss and hard transitions.
Background and approach
He uses that background to offer options: faith-informed conversations if desired, or a strictly counseling-focused path when preferred. His main specialties include grief and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and he also addresses related concerns such as isolation, caregiver stress, fatherhood issues, and mood challenges. He helps people untangle guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose in straightforward terms.
Jonathan draws from several practical therapy methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and client-centered approaches. In sessions he aims to teach skills people can use between meetings, such as managing upsetting thoughts or improving communication. People meet him for help after a loss, for ongoing mood concerns, or when past trauma keeps returning.
He encourages clients to set the pace and decide whether faith should be part of the work. His approach is collaborative, focused on small changes that add up over time.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for grief, anxiety, and finding direction when life feels stalled. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for mood disorders, ADHD strategies, and managing stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses distress from traumatic memories through a structured process that reduces how those memories affect daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jonathan will collaborate with a person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. He explains how a technique works, tries it in session, and adapts the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to use strategies where they are needed in everyday life.
