About James

James (Jim) Wells is an LPC with 35 years of clinical experience based in Texas. He helps people take the first steps through depression, grief, addiction, and relationship struggles. He talks plainly and meets clients where they are to begin practical, real work together.

James leans on existential ideas to help people name what matters to them and to face difficult choices with more clarity. He focuses on what is happening in the present and how a person's values, loss, and life transitions shape daily experience.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to uncover patterns that limit wellbeing and to open up new ways of responding. Clients can expect a respectful and down-to-earth approach. James emphasizes sensitivity and compassion while creating a plan tailored to each person's needs.

He uses conversation to increase awareness and to remove obstacles that block a person’s ability to move forward. Over a long career James has worked with many forms of distress, including mood disorders, trauma and abuse, eating and anger issues, and concerns around intimacy and infidelity. He also supports people facing aging-related changes and end-of-life questions.

He works with practical goals like managing stress, coping with life changes, and rebuilding relationships after loss or betrayal. The process is collaborative and paced to fit each person's readiness and rhythm.

Approaches James names

Existential Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Existential approaches and online therapy options

Existential Therapy looks at big life questions such as meaning, choice, responsibility, and loss. It helps people clarify what matters to them and cope with uncertainty, grief, and transitions by focusing on present concerns and personal values.

In online sessions James uses conversation to map out how life events and relationships shape daily experience. That work can help with depression, anxiety, intimacy struggles, addiction recovery, and decisions around aging or end-of-life concerns. The focus is on awareness, honest reflection, and choosing actions that fit a client's values.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then shape sessions to fit those needs. Clients and therapist adjust pacing and methods together as progress unfolds.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone works well for lower bandwidth or quick check-ins, and chat or messaging fit people who prefer writing or need brief, frequent support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
