About James

James Herrington is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Texas with five years of clinical experience. He works with people who face stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, depression, and anger. He also helps with addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting stresses, and mood disorders.

In sessions he keeps the work straightforward. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. He uses clear techniques and therapy tools to address unhelpful thinking, recurring reactions, and the effects of past distress.

James draws on client-centered methods to listen closely to each person’s goals. He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to test thoughts and behaviors that feed anger or anxiety. For people affected by past traumatic events, he incorporates trauma-focused ideas and EMDR-informed strategies when appropriate.

He aims to help people build practical coping skills. That can mean planning small changes, rehearsing different ways to respond, or practicing calming strategies between sessions. He also addresses related issues such as attachment, communication problems, control struggles, and guilt or shame.

Sessions are offered in English and James accepts international clients. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to get started. Fees vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches translate to online work

James combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused practices. Client-centered work focuses on listening and helping people set practical goals. CBT looks at the thought patterns and behaviors that keep anger and anxiety active and teaches ways to test and change them. Trauma-focused therapy addresses the effects of past events and uses specific strategies to reduce the hold of traumatic memories.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. He discusses goals and preferences with each person and makes collaborative decisions about which methods to use. That helps keep sessions relevant to real-life problems like losing temper with loved ones, workplace frustration, or persistent resentment.

The therapist biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it possible for people outside Texas or in other countries to connect with a licensed professional when that is helpful.
