Dr. James Geidner, LCPC, LPC

Dr. James Geidner is an LCPC and an LPC with more than 20 years of clinical experience. He works from Michigan and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, grief, sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD and related struggles.

He has worked in psychiatric rehabilitation, child treatment centers and universities. He currently teaches as a Professor of Health and Counseling and also maintains a private practice. His background includes roles as a clinical supervisor at a number of institutions, which shaped how he plans treatment with clients.

In sessions he focuses on finding the right way to work for each person. That can mean using talking therapies, skills practice, or reflecting on life patterns. He draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and Jungian ideas when those fit the concern.

People who come for help with anger often want clearer ways to manage tension, stop snapping at others, or reduce recurring resentment. He helps people identify triggers, build practical skills for responding differently, and track what works over time. The tone in his practice is straightforward and focused on concrete change.

His combined academic and clinical experience informs a practical approach. New clients complete an initial match and schedule a first session to begin clarifying goals and the methods they will use together.
