About James
James Gibb is an Illinois-based counselor with 15 years of experience. He holds an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor). He works with adults on anger, anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, and related concerns including relationship and intimacy issues.
He helps people who struggle with anger that shows up at home or work. He also supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting stress, career changes, and ADHD. He notes experience with LGBTQ concerns and a range of personality and communication problems.
Sessions mix practical skills and thoughtful reflection. James uses client-centered work and mindfulness to notice patterns of thought and feeling. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help people act in line with their values even when emotions feel intense.
He also brings existential perspectives when questions about meaning and life direction come up. That can include discussing philosophical ideas alongside therapeutic tools. He reports offering personality and intelligence testing when useful to clarify thinking styles and strengths.
He aims to teach skills that transfer outside the session so people can try new ways of responding in daily life. He asks for feedback each session and adjusts work based on what the person says is helping.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help when anger or anxiety pushes behavior in unhelpful directions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own experience and pace, using attentive listening to clarify what matters and what to change. Existential Therapy brings questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility into the conversation when life direction or intense emotions are central.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. James will work with each person to test techniques and decide what helps most for their goals. That collaboration includes checking in regularly and adjusting methods if something feels unhelpful.
