About James
James Davis is an LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) with 10 years of experience based in Utah. He works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and anger. He also helps with relationship issues, parenting stress, grief, career changes, ADHD and concerns related to intimacy and self-esteem.
James uses straightforward, practical work in sessions. He listens to what leads to angry outbursts and helps people learn new ways to respond. Conversations often focus on what happens before, during, and after strong reactions so clients notice patterns and try different responses.
He draws on several therapy approaches to fit the person and the problem. That can include cognitive behavioral work to test thoughts and behaviors, attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, and EMDR techniques when trauma memories are a clear source of distress. He talks through steps, practices new skills, and checks what helps between sessions.
Sessions are described as collaborative and goal-focused. James helps set clear, realistic steps people can try at home to lower tension, reduce yelling or shutting down, and rebuild trust after conflicts. He also addresses the longer-term issues that keep resentment and frustration cycling.
Clients who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. James works in English and practices in Utah as an LCMHC.
How his methods translate to online sessions
James commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and test the thoughts that fuel angry reactions. CBT gives concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and practice different behaviors in daily life. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how past relationship patterns affect current reactions and to build clearer ways of asking for needs. EMDR can be used when trauma memories strongly drive anger, aiming to reduce the intensity of those memories and their immediate emotional pull.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and how quickly to introduce skill practice or trauma-focused techniques. The process is paced to what a person can manage and tested in real situations between sessions.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or to continue care when travel makes in-person visits difficult. They also allow shorter check-ins when a quick touchpoint helps keep new skills on track.
