About James

James Farley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who supports people managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With a decade of clinical experience, he draws on a range of methods to help clients navigate life transitions, improve sleep and parenting challenges, address intimacy and communication problems, and work through issues like anger, low self-esteem, and career stress.

He views each person as the expert on their own life and centers therapy on clients' strengths while offering guidance and practical skills. His work incorporates evidence-informed strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside existential perspectives and hypnotherapy when appropriate.

James emphasizes collaboration and courage in the therapeutic process, helping clients set achievable goals and build coping tools for everyday challenges. His practice balances skill-building with reflective exploration to support lasting change.

Online approaches and what they offer

James integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teach concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is used to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for strong emotions and relationship struggles.

Deciding on an approach is a collaborative process. He will work with clients to explore which strategies fit their goals, preferences, and daily life, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so treatment aligns with individual needs.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals without needing to travel, and they allow therapy to fit into busy routines while maintaining regular contact for skills practice and support.
