About Vernon
Vernon Wiggins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Texas. He brings 11 years of clinical experience to sessions and aims to be direct while building a respectful therapeutic relationship. Vernon focuses on helping people who face stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, and identity or intimacy concerns.
He uses Existential therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. That means conversations often focus on personal meaning, clear goals, and practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts or behaviors.
Background and approach
Vernon keeps language plain and actionable so people leave sessions with something to try. Sessions address a wide range of concerns including parenting strain, relationship and communication problems, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and coping with life changes. He also works with issues such as body image, chronic illness, attachment worries, and sexual culture matters like BDSM and kink.
Therapy can cover both emotional and practical difficulties. Vernon describes his style as straightforward and goal-oriented while valuing a strong working relationship. He listens first, then names the issue and helps set small, attainable steps.
Progress is often measured by clearer thinking, reduced avoidance, and better coping skills. People meet with him for short-term solution work or longer-term exploration depending on their needs. Sessions may include mindfulness practices, skill-building, and conversations about values and life direction.
Vernon invites prospective clients to consider what they most want to change and to bring that into the first meeting.

Online support
Practical approaches for online counseling
Vernon blends Existential therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral tools to address concerns in online sessions. Existential therapy focuses on meaning, values, and life choices and can help when someone feels stuck or uncertain about direction. Client-Centered work prioritizes the person’s own goals and experience, offering acceptance and reflective listening to help people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and build concrete coping skills.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Vernon will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then use elements from these approaches that fit best. Sessions can be adjusted over time based on what feels most helpful, whether that means short-term skill work or deeper exploration of life meaning.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for people who want face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when written reflection is preferred. These options offer flexibility for different schedules, work breaks, and comfort with communication style.
