About Laronne
Laronne James is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 14 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and related concerns. She uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral methods in sessions and often helps people facing life changes such as grief, retirement, or disability.
James began in criminal justice and addictions work. She supported people with intellectual disabilities and federal parolees dealing with substance use. She also led a school-based group for teens who tested positive for marijuana during random screening.
She later worked with people on the autism spectrum and those with intellectual disabilities, collaborating with psychiatrists and acting as a team leader from 2004 to 2017. During her licensing process she completed an internship in an intensive outpatient psychiatric program.
After gaining her LPC she joined a social service agency to broaden the range of people and concerns she saw. Her caseload has included substance use, depression, anxiety, trauma, and adjustment to major life events. She also lists aging and geriatric issues, panic attacks, bipolar concerns, and addiction recovery among her focus areas.
Her approach blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques. She frames CBT as action-oriented work that teaches practical tools. Sessions are guided by the client’s goals and preferences, with emphasis on skills people can use between meetings.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. In practice that means the therapist follows the client’s lead, clarifies concerns, and helps the client set goals. This approach supports people who need validation and space to sort out feelings before choosing next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions teach concrete skills and short exercises to try between meetings. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and coping with life changes like grief or retirement.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they decide which techniques to emphasize and adjust the plan as needed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, support shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and remove travel time. It can also allow sessions without being on camera when someone prefers less visual presence.
