Dr. James Guinee, AR Psychologist 97-02P

Dr. James Guinee is an AR Psychologist (Arkansas Psychologist license 97-02P) with 28 years of professional experience. He works with adults on problems such as depression, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

He spent much of his career in university counseling centers and later did contract work with a local hospital and employee assistance programs. His practice focuses on areas he finds most responsive to brief and ongoing therapy - mood and worry driven by overthinking, relationship conflict, religious stress, nightmares and dream work, and anger concerns.

James uses a collaborative, low-pressure style. He listens, gives direct feedback, and invites honest conversation. He describes himself as personable and relaxed and aims to be responsive by checking messages during the day.

In couples work he provides both couples therapy and premarital counseling when both partners are willing to engage. He notes limited success with infidelity issues and does not take on sexual intimacy problems. He also does not work with addictions, physical illness impacts, or sexual identity concerns that require affirmation or specialized care.

His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, emotionally-focused methods, client-centered listening, and solution-focused techniques. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps, clarifying values, shifting unhelpful thinking, and improving communication.

He welcomes international clients and offers services from Arkansas. Prospective clients should confirm session formats and scheduling details before booking.
