About James
Dr. James Florence is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 31 years of experience. He works with people dealing with relationship problems, anger, coping with life changes, executive and professional coaching, and compassion fatigue. He speaks English and practices from a perspective that stresses collaboration and practical steps.
He uses straightforward conversation and structured techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one approach he uses to identify thinking patterns and test new behaviors. He also draws on client-centered principles to listen to what matters most to each person and on motivational interviewing to clarify goals and strengthen commitment to change.
Sessions focus on clear goals, short-term strategies, and skills people can try between meetings. Typical topics include communication problems, commitment and control issues, jealousy, isolation, and midlife or money stress. He also addresses caregiver strain, aging and geriatric concerns, guilt and shame, and process addictions such as problematic gambling, exercise, or pornography use.
His style is practical and goal-oriented. He aims to break problems into manageable steps and to help people practice different responses. He encourages tracking what works and adjusting plans when needed.
People who choose him usually want concrete tools and direct feedback. To begin, prospective clients use the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Florence works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thinking patterns and try different responses in daily life. CBT sessions tend to be structured and include homework tasks such as thought records, behavior experiments, or communication practice to use between appointments.He also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Motivational interviewing is used to explore ambivalence and to help people set clear, achievable goals when they feel stuck.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. He will discuss your goals and preferences and recommend a practical approach together. That collaborative choice guides how sessions are planned and what exercises are assigned.
The site biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into busy schedules, shorten commute time, and support regular check-ins. Some formats also let people do brief phone check-ins or shorter video sessions when a full meeting is hard to schedule.
