About Tavia

Tavia James is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She brings a background in vocational rehabilitation counseling and multicultural emphasis from Southern University and A&M College, where she earned a master’s degree and was inducted into the Chi Sigma Iota honor society.

Early in her career she focused on helping people with physical and mental disabilities adapt to workplace demands, and later expanded her training to offer psychotherapy to adults and people from diverse backgrounds.

Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship difficulties, mood disorders, and issues around self-esteem and life purpose. She uses a holistic, solution-focused framework that emphasizes practical strategies, insight, and realistic tools so clients can build a workable blueprint for days, months, and years ahead.

Formal training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR complements her use of acceptance, mindfulness, and client-centered techniques. Tavia describes therapy as a collaborative process and aims to partner with clients to align desire with action, support recovery and restoration, and foster greater purpose and well-being.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Tavia uses practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address emotional patterns and trauma. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so clients can develop coping skills for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. EMDR is a structured method used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact, which can help those dealing with past abuse or intense distress.

She also integrates client-centered principles that prioritize the person’s own insights and goals, creating space for collaboration when choosing the best path forward. Finding the right approach is treated as a shared decision - the therapist will work with clients to tailor methods based on needs, goals, and personal preferences rather than assuming one technique fits everyone.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access regular support without travel, and they allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care while adapting to changing routines or time constraints.
