About Gage
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 10 years of clinical experience, Gage Herrington focuses on trauma and abuse, anger management, bipolar disorder, grief, eating concerns, parenting stress, and coping with life changes. He also works with self-harm thoughts and behaviors and has experience with severe and persistent mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder.
Gage takes a direct, practical approach in sessions. He listens to the immediate problem, then helps clients set small goals they can try between meetings. He adapts how he talks and plans care to a person's situation rather than using one fixed method.
Clients can expect clear discussion about symptoms, safety, and day-to-day strategies. Gage pays attention to the effects of culture, prejudice, and discrimination on mental health and includes those factors when relevant. He is comfortable addressing anger, communication problems, and issues that come up after divorce or separation.
He has worked with people who have intellectual disability and with men's issues, and he helps people navigate mood disorders and personality-related concerns. Gage also offers coaching-style support for life transitions and practical coping skills when plans need to change.
Sessions emphasize concrete steps and check-ins on progress. People who prefer straightforward discussion and measurable changes may find this style useful. To begin, prospective clients are invited to use the online matching process and schedule an initial appointment.

How Gage applies evidence-based methods online
Gage works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at reducing symptoms and improving day-to-day coping. One common approach focuses on skills training and behavioral strategies to manage anger and mood swings; this involves learning specific ways to notice triggers and practice alternative responses. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed care that addresses the impact of past abuse on current thinking and behavior, with attention to safety, stabilization, and step-by-step exposure to difficult memories when ready.Choosing the best approach is collaborative. Gage will review presenting concerns, priorities, and preferences with each person and then recommend techniques to try. Progress is monitored together, and methods are adjusted based on what helps in real life.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into work, school, or family routines because they reduce travel and can be scheduled more easily. Remote work can also allow shorter check-ins, video or audio-only conversations, or pacing that fits a client's day. Discuss practical needs during the initial match so session length and timing support everyday life.
