James Gibb, LCPC, LPC

James Gibb is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 15 years of experience in Illinois. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and codependency. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

He uses practical, talk-based therapy that focuses on skills people can use outside sessions. James blends client-centered listening with mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques. He invites feedback each session so therapy stays focused on what actually helps.

His background includes training in existential ideas and philosophy, and he sometimes brings philosophical questions into conversation when that fits a client's concerns. That perspective can help people who feel stuck by values, meaning, or repetitive life patterns.

James also works with people who are highly intelligent and who struggle to adjust socially, including those on the high-functioning end of the autism spectrum. He offers testing when assessment seems useful, including personality and intelligence measures.

In sessions he mixes short-term, solution-focused work with deeper exploration when needed. The approach aims to build clearer boundaries, calmer responses to others, and practical ways to cope with big emotions. He helps people practice skills so they translate to everyday situations.
