James Wells

James Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing big life changes and everyday stress. He works with adults on issues like anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He also supports people managing career strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, and identity exploration, including LGBT-related concerns.

His style is warm and direct. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. He listens for patterns in thoughts and behavior, then helps clients try new ways of responding that fit their values. The work blends skill-building with attention to emotions and important relationships.

James draws from several evidence-based approaches. He uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values, and attachment-focused work to examine relationship patterns. He also borrows tools from dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed.

With three years of clinical experience, he aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Clients are invited to set goals and move at a pace that feels manageable. The focus is on real-world change that fits each person’s life.

James holds LPC credentials in Alabama and Georgia, and conducts therapy in English. To begin, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that fits their calendar. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people change interaction styles that cause pain.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they review what’s working, try new strategies, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between appointments. It can also let someone skip camera use when they prefer shorter phone check-ins or need lower bandwidth. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and focus to match everyday life demands, helping people practice skills and cope with life changes without rearranging their entire schedule.
