About James
James Wells is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with three years of clinical experience based in Alabama. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy, parenting, anger, career questions, bipolar and depression, ADHD, and related issues. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
James focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. He breaks problems into manageable parts. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and then tries different ways of responding to them. He uses straightforward tools drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches alongside acceptance and attachment work.
In session he listens for patterns that keep problems going. He helps people set small, doable goals and practices specific skills between meetings. Meetings often include thought records, behavioral experiments, and skills for managing strong emotions. He also addresses relationship patterns and attachment concerns with clear, concrete exercises.
James draws on client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on what each person needs right now. He blends techniques from DBT for emotion regulation when intense feelings are present. He aims to make the work concrete so people can try new responses outside the session and track what changes.
He asks about day-to-day routines, supports, and stressors to make practical plans that fit real life. New clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to get started.
How his approaches translate to online work
James uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions typically involve tracking thoughts, trying small experiments between sessions, and practicing skills that reduce anxiety or improve mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to build willingness to experience difficult feelings while taking steps toward meaningful goals; ACT often focuses on values and simple experiential exercises.Attachment-Based Therapy is used when relationship patterns and early bonds shape current problems. That approach looks at how people relate to others and practices different ways of communicating and connecting. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can help fit counseling into a workday or reduce travel time. Some formats make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid being on camera, or use lower bandwidth when needed.
