More about James

  • 32 years' experience
  • Male
  • LMHC

As a licensed therapist with over three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions, emotional challenges, and personal growth. My practice focuses on helping clients address depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and family conflicts with compassionate, personalized care.

I bring deep expertise in supporting older adults, veterans, first responders, and individuals experiencing significant life changes. My approach is particularly attuned to challenges related to midlife transitions, aging, caregiving stress, and personal identity exploration.

My therapeutic work centers on helping clients work through guilt, shame, attachment issues, and emotional healing. I provide a supportive environment where individuals can explore life purpose, develop healthy coping strategies, and move towards greater personal understanding and resilience.

With a commitment to creating a non-judgmental, affirming space, I draw from extensive clinical experience to support clients through diverse emotional landscapes. My goal is to empower individuals to navigate their unique journeys with strength, self-compassion, and meaningful insight.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
