About Laronne
Laronne James is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings 14 years of experience in behavioral health. She started in criminal justice and addictions work and has moved into broader counseling roles in Texas. Laronne connects practical skills with straightforward conversation to help people manage hard moments.
She began her career working with people involved in the justice system and those struggling with substance use. That work included supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities and coordinating with psychiatric teams.
Background and approach
During her licensed internship she worked in a psychiatric hospital intensive outpatient program. After earning her LPC, she joined a social service agency to broaden the range of people she sees. She often supports people facing substance abuse, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and major life transitions like retirement or disability.
She also addresses sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, and ADHD-related concerns. Laronne uses Client-Centered Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focusing on clear tools and client goals. Sessions tend to be practical and goal oriented, with work on thoughts, behaviors, and skills someone can use between meetings.
She aims to make therapy feel collaborative and down-to-earth. People who prefer direct, action-focused work may find her approach useful. She offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging options for sessions.
Laronne practices in Texas and conducts therapy in English.
Approaches and what online therapy looks like
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person needs. The therapist offers empathy and support while the person guides the pace and topics of sessions. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and make choices that feel right to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Sessions teach practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, addictions, panic, and managing life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions lean more toward client-centered listening or active CBT skill building.
Online therapy is offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is low or a quieter connection is preferred. Live chat and text sessions make it easier to check in between meetings or fit brief sessions into a busy day. These formats increase flexibility and make it easier to keep consistent progress regardless of location.
