About James
Dr. James Florence is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 31 years of experience. He works with adults who want to handle relationship strain, anger, coping with life changes, and professional coaching concerns.

He uses a straightforward, person-focused way of working. He treats the client as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are practical and oriented toward clear steps people can try between meetings.
Dr. Florence commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to the person. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change patterns of thinking and behavior that feed anger or frustration. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs to clarify what will keep them moving forward.
He helps with a wide range of issues related to midlife and later life, including aging and caregiver stress. He also supports people dealing with commitment and communication problems, jealousy, guilt and shame, and struggles with loneliness or purpose.
Practical goals often include improving how someone responds in heated moments, reducing resentment that builds over time, and strengthening everyday communication. The approach is collaborative and action-oriented, aimed at measurable changes people can notice in daily life.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist track concerns over time and respond directly to what the client brings each week.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions this often means agreeing on concrete exercises to try between meetings and then reviewing what changed.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about making changes. The therapist uses guided questions to uncover motivation and set small, achievable goals in collaboration with the client.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will help figure out which methods match the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may be adjusted as progress is tracked.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered online, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when useful, or remove travel time. These practical advantages help some people keep momentum as they practice new ways of responding to anger.
