About James

James Farley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction, and relationship or parenting challenges. He works with clients on practical problems like sleep disruption, anger, self-esteem, career changes, and coping with life transitions. He frames therapy around each person's story and strengths.

He focuses on plain conversation and clear goals rather than jargon. Sessions look at what's happening now, what patterns keep showing up, and small changes that make daily life easier.

Background and approach

James encourages honest reflection about values and choices while offering concrete tools to manage intense feelings. His approach draws on existential ideas that help people think about meaning, responsibility, and freedom in their lives. He also uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation skills.

Hypnotherapy may be used when appropriate to support relaxation and focus. With around ten years of counseling experience, James brings steady guidance and practical strategies to sessions. He aims to create a space where people can name what matters to them and take steps toward it.

The work is collaborative - therapist and client set priorities together. James offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different needs and schedules. He conducts therapy in English and practices in Texas.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

James blends Existential Therapy with cognitive and skills-based methods to address real-life problems. Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, responsibility, and the choices they face; it can be useful for grief, major life changes, and questions about direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That process may involve trying different techniques and checking in together about what helps most.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions can fit into a short break or be used when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can provide quick check-ins or ongoing written support. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and fit therapy into a busy life while using approaches that help with thinking, feeling, and coping.
