More about James
- 30 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
As a licensed therapist with three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My practice focuses on helping clients address a wide range of concerns, including grief, self-esteem, career difficulties, and personal growth.
I bring deep expertise in working with diverse populations, from young adults to older individuals facing midlife transitions. My approach is particularly attuned to men's issues, workplace challenges, and the unique emotional landscapes of military veterans, intelligence community, and first responders.
My therapeutic work centers on helping clients explore communication barriers, overcome isolation, and rediscover life purpose. I provide compassionate support for individuals dealing with mood disorders, attachment issues, and the emotional complexities of major life changes like divorce, aging, and personal loss.
I am committed to creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their deepest challenges, develop resilience, and move toward healing and personal empowerment. My goal is to walk alongside you as you navigate your unique journey of growth and self-discovery.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.

In my 2 sessions with James, he had been caring, professional and offers solutions and things I can use in my everyday life. I like his up front style.
James is very intelligent and helpful
My first session with James was a very good experience. James was well organized and gave a thorough and direct explanation of what the process would be for our first session. We were able to have a conversation about what brought me to Better help which gave me the opportunity to open up and feel comfortable about my needs. Looking forward to moving forward.
James is professional, but not too clinical. He is exactly the style suited to my needs.
James is an incredible support. He's aware, intuitive, and direct. Very happy with my experience so far.
James is absolutely fantastic. Hands down the best, most understanding therapist.
My therapist James has been nothing but incredible and has been there to help me with all the ups and downs that I have had and has always been there to encourage me to keep going in whatever direction I’m at in that time frame. He helps to give me clarity and also to help give me strategies to conquer my next cross road.
James is amazing, he listens and acknowledges what you are saying, and he takes immediate action towards the best help.
Amazing listener and experienced professional
James is quite possibly the best therapist I’ve ever seen. He really listens and provides advice and guidance that is helpful and achievable. He is kind and thoughtful and I would recommend him to anyone.
James meets me where I am at each session. He is able to listen and reads between the lines to offer a perspective I hadn’t seen. He is skillful and compassionate in his approach.
I appreciate his directness.
James is awesome
James listened to me and responded with very helpful solutions. I would recommend James to my family and friends.
Incredibly patient, analytical, and allows me to think through things.
Our first session was great and made me feel comfortable and heard. He's a straight shooter and is really willing to help
Very knowledgeable and understanding. I look forward to the feedback offered.
Fantastic!
James is what I'd consider a perfect fit for me. He's very straightforward and to the point, which I absolutely need out of a therapist. He shows genuine interest in my wellbeing and is helping me to see my strengths that I have a hard time giving myself credit for. I genuinely feel cared about by James and really appreciate what he has offered me so far through my sessions with him. He's a good man and I have a lot of respect for him.
James is empathetic and kind and really listens. I’ve been impressed with his skill and ability to really understand what I’m trying to accomplish and communicate.
Great help.
