About James
James Graham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with four years of clinical experience. He works with people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. James also addresses codependency and related concerns that affect how people relate to others and themselves.
He describes his work as trauma-informed narrative therapy that looks at how stories from the past shape present feelings and behavior. Sessions focus on clarifying what happened, naming its effects, and gradually making different choices in relationships and daily life. Conversations are practical and direct, aimed at helping people notice patterns and try new ways of responding.
James brings academic training in history, religion, and clinical mental health to his practice. He uses that background to pay attention to meaning and values while addressing symptoms like worry, low mood, and intrusive memories. The LPC credential stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and indicates state-level licensure in Alabama.
People who come to him often want help understanding family of origin issues, attachment or fatherhood concerns, obsessive or compulsive behaviors, or struggles tied to addiction and personality difficulties. He also works with aging and geriatric issues and with clients on the autism spectrum who want practical strategies.
His approach emphasizes collaboration. Together with each client he reviews what has helped before and what feels possible now, and they plan the next steps one at a time.
How sessions work
Approaches he uses and how online sessions work
James names narrative therapy as a core approach. That means sessions look at the stories you tell about yourself and your past, and then test different meanings and actions to reduce distress. Narrative work can help with trauma-related memories, codependency patterns, and feeling stuck in repetitive roles.He also uses trauma-informed methods that focus on noticing the impact of painful events and building small, manageable steps to feel steadier. These tools target symptoms such as anxiety, intrusive memories, and mood shifts without forcing rapid change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. James collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. He will review what has helped before and whether to try narrative exercises, paced exposure to difficult memories, or concrete behavior changes in daily life.
