More about James

  • 3 years' experience
  • Male
  • LMFT

As a licensed therapist in California, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on helping clients develop self-compassion, improve communication, and overcome challenges like social anxiety, relationship difficulties, and personal growth obstacles.

I'm deeply committed to creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences with depression, stress, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. My therapeutic style focuses on understanding each person's unique journey, offering compassionate guidance through life transitions, workplace challenges, and personal development.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I work collaboratively with clients to build resilience, develop healthy coping strategies, and rediscover their inner strength. Whether you're struggling with panic attacks, relationship issues, or seeking greater self-understanding, I'm here to support you with empathy and professional expertise.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
