James Loughran, LPC

James Loughran is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with 37 years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting concerns, anger, and career matters. He also helps with issues like communication problems, fatherhood concerns, and struggles with guilt or shame.

He has provided care across inpatient, partial hospital/intensive outpatient, and outpatient settings in Massachusetts and Connecticut. That experience includes work in mental health and addiction services. He uses practical, talk-based work that balances listening with gentle challenge when that helps move a person forward.

In sessions he draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. He aims to help people notice patterns, try different responses, and build small, usable skills for daily life. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented rather than abstract.

James is familiar with long-term and short-term concerns. He can assist with stress at work, managing anger that affects relationships, and problems tied to substance use. He also supports people wrestling with isolation, life purpose, or post-traumatic stress.
