About James
James Farley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, sleep problems, anger, and related concerns.
Clients can expect straightforward, practical sessions. He treats difficulties like low self-esteem, career stress, depression, and coping with life changes by talking through patterns and testing small changes that make daily life easier. He also addresses ADHD, compassion fatigue, and caregiver stress when these affect functioning.
His approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills. He also uses existential ideas to look at meaning and choice, and hypnotherapy when appropriate for focus and habit change. Sessions tend to focus on what someone can try between meetings.
Farley frames problems in plain terms and keeps recommendations practical. He often works on communication problems, codependency, control issues, and attachment concerns. He also supports people facing substance use, domestic violence histories, or medical-related stress such as cancer caregiving.
People who choose him typically want direct strategies for managing anger, stress, or recurring relationship patterns. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The counselor notes that the subscription-based session model can be canceled at any time.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
James uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavioral changes. CBT is useful for anger linked to automatic thoughts, work stress, or sleep problems.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. DBT-style tools can help when strong feelings lead to impulsive reactions or damaged relationships.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will review your goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to start with. Adjustments are made as you try tools and report what helps.
