About Vernon
Vernon Wiggins is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, based in Texas. He draws on a direct, straightforward style to help people name what feels wrong and begin practical work on it. Vernon focuses on issues like anger, anxiety, depression, identity concerns, and coping with life changes.
He uses clear talk and focused interventions rather than long, unfocused sessions. Vernon emphasizes building a working relationship first, then identifying the main problems to address.
Background and approach
He blends approaches from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, existential questions, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. In session he helps people break problems into manageable steps. That might mean identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing short mindfulness exercises, or setting small behavior goals.
He keeps conversations practical and goal-oriented while still making space to understand personal meaning and values. Vernon has 11 years of clinical experience in mental health and counseling. He has supported people coping with grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, ADHD, and relationship struggles.
He also works with concerns around sexual identity and body image. People meet him for help with sleep problems, career stress, compassion fatigue, and managing intense emotions like anger. Vernon helps clients set realistic plans and track progress over time to see what works and what needs adjusting.

Practical approaches and online care that fit your life
The practice combines client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people handle strong emotions and daily stress. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and understanding the person's goals so sessions follow what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teaches specific skills to change them, which can help with anger, anxiety, and sleep problems. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Vernon will work with each person to decide which methods make sense based on their goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape session goals and the pace of work so clients can try techniques and adjust as needed. Online sessions offer practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face work when meeting in person is hard. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share updates, get brief support, or work through short skills practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, handle follow-up tasks, and keep momentum between appointments.Questions people ask about Vernon
