About Vernon
Vernon Wiggins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with eleven years of experience in clinical practice. He takes a direct, straightforward approach while making sure a solid working relationship is in place. Vernon addresses common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, and issues related to sexual identity and addiction.
He uses practical, evidence-informed methods drawn from client-centered, cognitive behavioral, existential, mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches. In sessions he helps people name their main problems and then works with them on clear steps to change patterns that cause distress. He often combines talking, skill-building, and goal setting to produce useful, everyday results.
Vernon’s work also covers grief, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep and parenting struggles, and career questions. He supports people facing complex or overlapping issues such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, chronic pain, and codependency by addressing what’s most disruptive in daily life.
His style is pragmatic and to the point. He values honest conversation and straightforward feedback while remaining respectful of each person’s identity and goals. Vernon aims to help clients move from stuck patterns to manageable steps forward.
People interested in starting can expect clear expectations, simple tools to practice between sessions, and a focus on measurable progress over time.
Approaches that guide online work
Client-centered work focuses on listening and making the client’s goals central. The therapist follows the person’s lead, helps clarify what matters most, and supports choices that fit their values and identity.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful thinking and build better habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and anger.
Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice, and responsibility. It can help people facing life transitions, questions about identity, or feelings of emptiness by encouraging honest reflection and clearer life direction.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. This might mean trying a straightforward skill-based plan, focusing on values and meaning, or blending techniques over time.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people work on skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches effectively to remote work when formats suit the client’s needs.
