About Gage
Gage Herrington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people who have faced trauma, abuse, intense anger, and thoughts or behaviors of self-harm. He also works with those managing mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and other severe, persistent mental illnesses.
He aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are shaped to the needs of each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Gage emphasizes clear conversation and practical steps that fit each person's situation.
In sessions he listens for the goals that matter most and then tailors the work to reach them. That might include talking through painful memories, building ways to handle strong emotions, or planning for life changes. He also supports people who want coaching-style help to set and reach personal goals.
He has experience working with challenges such as grief, eating concerns, parenting strain, communication problems, divorce and separation, and multicultural and discrimination-related stress. He brings this background into short- and longer-term work depending on the person's needs.
His approach is collaborative: clients help set the pace and priorities. He encourages small steps that add up to meaningful change and offers practical skills alongside emotional support.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to his work and are used to address emotions, behavior, and daily functioning. One common approach focuses on processing traumatic events and the feelings they leave behind, helping people reduce distressing reactions and make safer choices in the present. Another approach targets strong emotions like anger by teaching specific skills to notice triggers, manage impulses, and practice alternative responses that fit personal values.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adjusts techniques as needed. Together they track progress and choose the methods that feel most useful for the person's situation.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments from many locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or let someone avoid being on camera if they prefer less visual connection. Ask about the exact session formats offered before scheduling to match the work to practical needs.
