About James
James Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arkansas with five years of experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, and life changes. James frames clients as experts in their own stories and builds on existing strengths to address current struggles.
He prefers straightforward conversations. Sessions focus on identifying what causes sudden anger, chronic resentment, or slips into old patterns. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reactions, and practice skills they can use between sessions.
James uses evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change how people relate to difficult feelings. He also draws on Client-Centered and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas when skills for emotion regulation and communication are useful.
Practical tools and short exercises are common in his work. Clients may practice breathing and grounding skills, challenge thinking patterns, and set small measurable goals. He often combines discussion with straightforward homework so progress continues outside sessions.
People come to him for help reducing outbursts, managing workplace frustration, coping with someone else’s anger, or breaking cycles tied to addiction or depression. James aims for clear, doable steps rather than quick fixes. He helps people try new responses and track whether those changes are working.
How his approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help people who react quickly or who feel trapped by anger and negative thinking. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practice and simple experiments. It is useful for reducing reactive patterns and testing new ways of responding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. James will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit the person’s daily life. That collaboration helps pick techniques that feel practical and that a person can use outside sessions.
