About James
James Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and personal transitions. He creates an accepting space where clients can talk about tough emotions and figure out next steps.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical change. James uses a mix of therapy approaches to match each person's goals.
He draws on the Gottman Method for relationship patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-based action, and attachment-informed ideas to understand how early bonds affect current choices. He also uses client-centered listening and cognitive strategies when helpful.
In sessions he focuses on small, usable skills. That might mean learning ways to handle panic, setting boundaries, improving communication, or making a plan for recovery from addictive behaviors.
He explains tools clearly and practices them in session so clients feel ready to try them outside therapy. James has three years of clinical experience and holds LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor credentials in Alabama and Georgia.
He works with a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma, ADHD, mood disorders, and issues around identity and intimacy. He welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
Therapy with James often blends short-term problem solving with deeper work on patterns and values. He helps clients track progress, adjust strategies, and focus on what matters most to them.
Sessions aim to be practical, respectful, and tailored to each person's life.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
James uses the Gottman Method to look at common interaction patterns and emotional connection in relationships, helping people notice small habits and practice new ways of relating. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and build actions that align with what matters most, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and to develop more supported ways of connecting.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked. This collaborative process helps make sure therapy stays relevant and useful for each person.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video gives face-to-face interaction for skill practice, phone can be a simpler way to check in, live chat works for quick exchanges, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to schedule sessions, keep continuity during life changes, and use formats that match personal preferences.
