In sessions he uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy alongside Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy.

Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to what a client can try between meetings.
James describes counseling as a chance to serve. He aims for a collaborative style where people set clear, manageable goals. He draws on his own life as a husband and father to relate to everyday pressures and to help people sort priorities.
Outside of work he enjoys the outdoors, sports, music, and reading. He lives in Ohio with his wife and five sons and brings that community perspective into his therapeutic work.
How his approaches translate to online work
James commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with clearer, more useful thoughts while practicing new behaviors. DBT focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication skills in tense moments. He also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy, which uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm the mind.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will discuss which techniques match a client's goals and daily life. Clients decide what feels most useful and the approach can change as needs shift.
The biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life gets busy. It also lets people practice skills in real-life settings and then talk about how those attempts felt in the next session.
