01About Jonathan
Jonathan Semro is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with four years of counseling experience. He draws on a long history of pastoral work to meet people where they are and listen to their stories without judgment. Jonathan aims to help people sort through grief, manage ADHD symptoms, and handle emotional challenges that interfere with daily life.
He frames sessions around clear, practical steps and patient listening. Jonathan offers both faith-informed and non-religious approaches depending on each person's wishes.
Background and approach
He encourages clients to set their own goals and to lead the pace of change. In sessions he uses a mix of methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address thinking patterns and values-based choices. For trauma-related concerns he may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to work on distressing memories.
He also employs client-centered techniques to keep conversations grounded in the person’s experience. Jonathan works with issues beyond grief and ADHD, including caregiver stress, communication problems, fatherhood concerns, isolation, mood challenges, and questions about life purpose. He aims to help people reduce shame and build self-compassion while keeping therapy focused on practical steps.
People can expect straightforward conversation, goal setting, and tools to use between sessions. He strives to create a respectful space where clients can name what’s hard, try new ways of coping, and track small changes over time.

04Online support
Evidence-informed approaches and online flexibility
Jonathan incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build concrete skills for managing mood and behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many daily challenges.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses less on getting rid of feelings and more on living a meaningful life alongside difficult thoughts and emotions.
For trauma-related distress he may offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is a structured approach to reduce the intensity of painful memories and the strong reactions they can trigger.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jonathan will discuss options, listen to your goals and preferences, and together you will decide which methods to try and how to adapt them for your situation.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions work well when a video connection isn't possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide brief check-ins or support between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and to choose the way of communicating that feels most comfortable.
