About James

James Greenwald is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, codependency concerns, and other life disruptions. He also supports people coping with addiction, grief, parenting challenges, and questions about identity and purpose.

James uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He focuses on skills people can use between meetings. That includes techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, narrative work, and client-centered listening. Conversations tend to be direct and aimed at actionable change rather than abstract theory.

His background includes work across settings such as private practice, hospitals, schools, crisis services, and correctional settings. That variety informs how he helps people manage intense emotions, patterns of avoidance, and communication problems. He describes common work as addressing abandonment, attachment issues, control struggles, and family of origin concerns.

James often helps people who keep putting others first and lose their own sense of direction. Sessions can focus on boundary setting, addressing emptiness and isolation, and rebuilding confidence after loss or repeated hurt. He also brings experience with ADHD, bipolar concerns, and intimacy-related struggles.

In sessions he combines skills training, mindfulness exercises, and narrative techniques to help clients notice patterns and try new approaches. He encourages realistic steps toward goals and checks what is working along the way. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions

James uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are difficult. ACT is useful for stress, avoidance, and patterns where people feel stuck.

He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach practical methods for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can help with anger, impulsivity, and overwhelming anxiety. Client-centered work is woven through sessions, giving space for the client to set priorities while the therapist listens and reflects.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. James will collaborate with clients to test methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means trying skills, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed program.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people use quieter surroundings, avoid being on camera if they prefer, or choose a format that uses less bandwidth depending on their needs.
