About Laronne
Laronne James is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of work in mental health. She has a background that spans criminal justice, addictions work, and settings that included psychiatric inpatient and intensive outpatient programs. Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression and several related concerns.
She began her career supporting people involved in the justice system and later worked with individuals who have intellectual disabilities and autism. Those roles involved teaming with psychiatrists and leading groups for young people who faced substance use issues. This practical experience shaped her approach to working with complex life situations.
After becoming licensed, she moved into social services to broaden the range of concerns she could address. She regularly helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes like retirement or disability. Substance use and bipolar disorder also appear among her clinical focus areas.
Her stated approach is primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which she describes as action-oriented and goal focused. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles to keep sessions driven by the person in front of her. Together these methods aim to produce practical tools for everyday challenges.
Laronne says she enjoys working across different cultures and subcultures and tends to focus on people managing addiction, mood symptoms, anxiety, and the fallout of past trauma. She emphasizes short-term, skill-based work that people can apply between sessions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's concerns. In online sessions this means the therapist checks what matters most to the client and shapes sessions around those priorities. It helps with relationship strain, self-esteem, and feeling heard when anger or grief are present.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is action-oriented and teaches practical skills. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, anger, sleep problems, and mood issues because it emphasizes exercises people can practice between sessions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches that match their goals and daily life. That conversation guides how sessions are structured and what skills are prioritized.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can use a work break or an evening slot. Talk with the therapist about what will fit best for scheduling and the kind of support you want.
