James Wells, LPC

James Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, and addiction challenges. He works with adults who are navigating relationship strain, grief, identity questions, and big life changes. He aims to make sessions straightforward and easy to follow for people under pressure.

His approach is warm and inclusive. He listens for what matters most and helps clients find practical ways to cope. That might mean learning new skills for managing strong emotions, practicing clearer communication, or building routines that reduce overwhelm.

James draws on several evidence-informed approaches to tailor work to each person. He uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and he borrows tools from acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients clarify their values and act on them. Attachment-informed work helps when past relationships still affect present choices.

Sessions focus on real-life change. James helps clients set small, doable goals and track progress between meetings. He also supports exploration of identity, sexual expression, and the stresses that come from caregiving or medical concerns.

James has three years of clinical experience and holds LPC credentials. He works with people across Alabama and accepts international clients. To start, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

James often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. CBT is practical and skills-based, so it translates well to sessions focused on coping with stress or addiction triggers.

He also uses acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are strong. ACT can be useful for making steady progress through life transitions and recovery work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaboration means plans can shift as progress is made or priorities change.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find this helps maintain momentum between sessions while practicing new skills in everyday life.
