About Vernon
Vernon Wiggins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Texas. He brings 11 years of counseling experience and a direct, practical style to sessions. Vernon focuses on identifying problems clearly and helping people take steps to address them, including sleep and rest concerns.
He values building a strong working relationship while remaining straightforward about goals and next steps. Vernon draws on client-centered ideas alongside cognitive and behavioral approaches to help people change unhelpful patterns. He also uses elements of existential and mindfulness work when they fit a person's needs.
Vernon has supported people with anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, addictions, trauma and abuse, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. He also addresses caregiving stress, chronic pain and illness, ADHD, grief, body image, and many communication and control struggles.
In sessions he aims to be practical and clear. Vernon helps people break issues into manageable steps and tests what works. He encourages honest conversation and focuses on what needs to change to improve day-to-day life, including sleep routines and rest strategies when those are part of the problem.
To get started clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Vernon works in English and practices in Texas as an LPC and an LMHC.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's experience and priorities, giving people space to speak and guiding the process based on their goals. It helps with motivation, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques for managing anxiety, sleep problems, and mood. Solution-focused therapy centers on small, achievable changes and quick strategies for moving forward when specific problems feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is a collaborative effort. Vernon will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and test methods that fit their needs. Over a few sessions he refines the plan so work targets what matters most, such as improving sleep routines or easing anxious thoughts.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats directly before booking because the available options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use techniques like guided mindfulness or CBT homework between meetings so progress continues outside sessions.
