More about James
- 37 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
I have been a therapist for the past 37 years since retiring from full-time work last December. This includes many years of individual and couples therapy. I am thought to be a compassionate listener with good ability to help people be attended to and challenged, where appropriate. I have experience in diverse levels of mental health and addiction care including Inpatient, Partial Hospital/Intensive Outpatient and Outpatient departments over these years in Massachusetts and Connecticut. I appreciate the work that we do to help those struggling with emotions and behaviors in life while looking to grow and cope through the process. I look forward to working with you.

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.
