About James

James Davis is an LCMHC based in Utah who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and other life changes.

Background and approach

He brings 10 years of practice rooted in trauma-informed care and aims to support clients through grief, self-esteem struggles, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, career concerns, and anger. His background includes a master’s degree in mental health counseling and a bachelor’s degree in psychology and human development, which inform a pragmatic and empathetic approach to therapy.

He combines evidence-based interventions such as EMDR and CBT with client-centered and attachment-based perspectives to tailor work to each person’s needs. James emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify practical coping strategies while exploring meaningful patterns that influence feelings and behavior.

Sessions are intended to balance skill-building with deeper therapeutic exploration so people can navigate crises, manage symptoms, and pursue greater overall wellbeing.

Approaches that translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early relationship patterns shape present attachments and emotional responses; online sessions can help explore these patterns and improve relational awareness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building that adapt well to video or phone formats. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers a structured method for processing traumatic memories and can be integrated into remote work with appropriate preparation and pacing.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and needs, and then tailors a plan that may combine approaches or shift over time based on progress and comfort. This shared decision-making helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These formats allow consistent access to care when life or location makes in-person meetings difficult, and they support a range of therapeutic activities from real-time conversation to written homework and check-ins.
