About James
James Malone is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 13 years of experience. He works with adults who face stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief, and related issues. He also helps people with parenting strain, career changes, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
James uses clear, practical talk in sessions. He leans on client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches while also using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, existential ideas, and mindfulness practices when they fit. Sessions focus on learning skills, noticing patterns, and making small changes that reduce reactivity and build steadier responses.
His background includes a master’s degree in counseling and psychology from Troy University and years of work in mental health and addictions settings. That experience covers substance use, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, trauma, and family-of-origin problems.
In the room he aims to help people reconnect with strengths and values. He supports clients who want clearer boundaries, fewer impulsive responses, or better ways to handle resentment and workplace frustration.
James also acknowledges spiritual concerns and can include clients’ spiritual values when helpful. He describes his approach as flexible rather than rigid, drawing on techniques that match each person’s goals and preferences.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and accepting difficult thoughts while taking committed action. It can help with chronic anger by shifting attention toward meaningful behavior rather than getting stuck on upsetting thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to interrupt reactive patterns. CBT is useful when anger shows up as automatic thinking or unhelpful habits. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so the client’s own goals guide the work, which can help people find their own reasons to change.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which methods match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time if different techniques seem more helpful.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography did not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and suit people who prefer not to travel. In many cases online sessions let people practice skills in real-life settings and bring current situations into conversation with the therapist.
