About James
James Farley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with young adults and others who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and life changes.
He keeps sessions direct and practical. Conversations focus on current problems and clear next steps. He uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, existential work, and hypnotherapy to offer different ways of working when a problem feels stuck.
In practice he helps people sort out sleep problems, parenting strain, career uncertainty, anger, and low self-esteem. He also addresses substance use concerns, codependency, communication problems, and caregiver stress. Sessions can include skill-building, managing difficult feelings, and planning concrete actions for daily life.
James describes the person in front of him as the expert on their own story. He aims to combine client knowledge with clinical tools to move forward. That may mean testing a coping skill, reframing unhelpful thinking, or looking at values and purpose when choices feel unclear.
People who want focused, outcome-oriented work may find this approach useful. His Texas LPC credential is listed at the start of the profile. If someone wants to try a first session, they are asked to use the site's matching and scheduling flow to book and begin.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
CBT helps you spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood by breaking big problems into manageable steps. DBT teaches emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that can reduce impulsive reactions and improve relationships. These skills are often used when anger, intense feelings, or relationship conflict are present.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about what matters, what has helped before, and what you want to change. Together you decide which methods to try and when to adjust course, so the process stays collaborative and practical.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people value online sessions because they can fit a meeting into a study or work break, avoid travel time, or use a shorter check-in when days are busy. Online work can also let you practice skills between meetings and bring real-life examples to sessions for focused problem solving.
