About James
James Farley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and grief and loss, and offers straightforward support as they look for clearer ways forward.
He focuses on practical work in sessions. That can include looking at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. He also uses skills-based approaches for managing strong emotions and building everyday routines that help sleep, parenting, work, and relationships feel more manageable.
James prefers a collaborative style. He treats the person in front of him as the expert on their life while suggesting steps that have helped others with similar concerns. Conversations are aimed at clear goals and small, doable changes rather than long, abstract explanations.
Over a decade in practice has included work with people dealing with addictions, anger, low self-esteem, and career stress. He also supports people coping with attachment issues, avoidant personality patterns, caregiver stress, and the complicated feelings that come with illness and loss.
Methods James uses include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), existential therapy, and hypnotherapy. He explains each approach in plain terms and helps people choose what fits their situation. To start, he asks about immediate concerns and practical goals, then plans the next steps together.
How his approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions typically include setting simple goals, practicing new ways of thinking, and assigning short activities between meetings to test what works. DBT emphasizes practical skills for managing emotions and relationships, such as breathing and grounding exercises, emotion regulation, and communication skills that can be practiced in real life and then reviewed in session.Finding the right approach is a joint process. He explains options and helps clients decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Together they check progress and adjust the plan so the work stays practical and relevant to day-to-day life.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. They also allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be harder to arrange. Ask about session length and any tools used during meetings when you select a time.
