Jonathan Semro

Jonathan Semro is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas who draws on prior pastoral work to support people through hard times. He focuses on grief and ADHD and aims to listen first, then help clients set the goals they want to work toward. Jonathan offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and respects each person's story and choices about faith in counseling.

Before becoming an LPC he spent 24 years working as a Christian pastor, where he supported people facing loss, relationship strain, and life transitions. That background informs his straightforward style and his emphasis on listening closely to what matters most to each person.

Jonathan uses a mix of approaches, including Client-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and the Gottman Method. He frames sessions around the client's goals and preferences and explains options so people can choose a path that fits them.

Sessions emphasize practical steps and honest conversation. He can include faith-based perspectives when a client wants that, or focus on secular methods if preferred. The therapist aims to help people manage grief, improve communication, reduce symptoms of mood disorders, and address caregiver stress or fatherhood concerns.

With four years of counseling experience as an LPC, Jonathan blends pastoral experience with clinical practice. He welcomes straightforward conversations about goals, boundaries, and what will make therapy useful for each person.
