About James
James (Jim) Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 35 years of clinical experience. He helps people dealing with depression, grief and loss, intimacy-related issues, and anger. His practice includes work on addictions, anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, and coping with major life changes.
Jim favors approaches that bring attention to the present moment and personal meaning. He draws on Existential Therapy to help people examine their values, responsibilities, and choices. That perspective is often used when clients are weighing difficult decisions or confronting losses that shake their sense of purpose.
In sessions he encourages clear awareness of what is happening now and how a person is responding. He uses conversational techniques to identify patterns that get in the way of day-to-day satisfaction. This can include looking at how anger shows up with partners, at work, or during life transitions.
He has also worked in roles that included supervision, so he is familiar with varied clinical settings and long experience supporting other clinicians. Jim values respectful interaction and listens for the practical shifts that make daily life easier.
To begin he asks clients to outline their concerns and goals so a straightforward plan can be made. He notes that starting therapy takes courage and that taking the first step is an important part of change.
Existential perspective and online sessions
Existential Therapy helps people examine meaning, responsibility, and the choices they face. It supports exploring how values and commitments shape reactions such as anger or avoidance, and can help when someone is coping with loss, major change, or questions about purpose.In online settings this approach translates into focused conversations about current struggles and decision points. The therapist guides clients to notice how they respond in daily life, clarifies priorities, and helps form practical next steps that reflect the client's values.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify whether Existential Therapy fits their needs and goals. That discussion shapes the plan for sessions and the kinds of topics to address.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, shorten a check-in when time is limited, or avoid travel time. Many licensed professionals find online sessions useful for keeping continuity of care during life changes and for working on practical, in-the-moment challenges.
