James Wells, LPC

James Wells is an LPC who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, and life transitions. He works with individuals wrestling with relationship strain, grief, self-esteem, or questions about identity. People come to him when daily stressors or major changes feel overwhelming.

He creates a warm, inclusive space where clients can talk through hard moments and make practical changes. Sessions focus on building coping skills, understanding emotions, and improving communication. James emphasizes small, steady steps and real-life strategies clients can try between sessions.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and DBT skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

His background includes three years of clinical practice as a licensed professional counselor in Alabama and Georgia. That experience includes supporting people through addiction recovery, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, and career challenges. He also works with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and compassion fatigue.

Clients from diverse backgrounds are welcomed and treated with respect. James helps people navigate topics like attachment, blended family issues, and caregiving strain. If you want straightforward, practical help for day-to-day problems or bigger life shifts, he can work with you to set clear goals and track progress.

How certain approaches translate to online therapy

James commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people name their values and focus actions on what matters. ACT can be useful for coping with anxiety, motivation problems, and life transitions by shifting attention from struggling to doing what matters.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, and stress that affect daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are woven in when emotion regulation or strong reactions get in the way of goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that match your needs, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps. Clients and therapist check in regularly to see what is working and make changes together.

The biography does not specify which remote session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use techniques in the places they live and work, helping skills transfer into everyday life.
