About James
James Farley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas with 10 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and codependency concerns. He also addresses sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career worries, and coping with major life changes.
James focuses on practical steps people can use when they feel overwhelmed by others' needs or by their own reactions. Sessions are conversational and direct. He helps clients notice patterns that lead to people-pleasing and trouble saying no, and then practice clearer boundaries and communication.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation skills and Existential Therapy to look at meaning, choice, and values when life feels confusing. Hypnotherapy is available as another tool when appropriate.
Clients can expect a therapist who treats the work as collaborative. James helps people set concrete goals, try new ways of responding, and review what works in daily life. He pays attention to how attachment and family patterns influence current relationships.
Sessions include direct skill teaching, written exercises, and step-by-step planning. James offers straightforward guidance while respecting a client's pace. He asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches used and what online sessions look like
James uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses that change feelings and behavior. CBT is practical and useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily-life problems.He also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. DBT techniques help when emotions feel intense or communication repeatedly leads to conflict. Existential ideas may be brought in to discuss values, meaning, and personal choice when life transitions raise big questions.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to match methods to the client's goals, concerns, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking how they fit, and adjusting the plan together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break, or remove travel time. It also lets therapists use worksheets, skill coaching, and guided exercises in ways that suit a client's daily routine.
