About Jonathan
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with four years of counseling experience, Jonathan Semro focuses on grief and ADHD. He combines several therapy approaches to help people manage mood concerns, trauma symptoms, and difficulties with communication and fatherhood. Jonathan offers both faith-informed and non-faith options and lets clients choose what fits them best.
Jonathan spent 24 years working as a Christian pastor before moving into professional counseling. That background shaped how he listens and talks with people about meaning, loss, and responsibility. He now brings counseling skills to situations like hospice and end-of-life care, caregiver stress, and the isolation that often follows major life changes.
He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) shows up in sessions as work on values and committed action. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is offered for people with trauma symptoms.
Sessions follow a client-centered style where the person’s choices guide the work. Jonathan also draws on elements of the Gottman Method when relationship communication is a focus. People can expect practical strategies alongside space to talk about guilt, shame, and questions of forgiveness.
He works with adults around issues such as mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, self-worth, and life purpose. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats to ensure they fit your needs.

How his therapeutic approaches translate to remote work
Jonathan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps. ACT is useful for motivation, life-purpose work, and coping with distressing thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot thought patterns and try new behaviors, which can help with mood disorders and anxiety symptoms. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is offered for people with trauma responses and focuses on processing painful memories to reduce their intensity.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods that match those needs. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy goes on.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit counseling into a week - shorter check-ins, meeting during a lunch break, or avoiding travel time. Remote work can also allow focused, structured exercises and homework between meetings. If EMDR is being considered, discuss how sessions will be arranged so the chosen method can be delivered effectively.
