James Malone, LMHC

James Malone is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 13 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and related challenges such as ADHD and compassion fatigue.

He favors practical, down-to-earth conversations. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill building, and making changes that fit everyday life. He draws on client-centered ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and try different responses when they feel stuck or reactive.

James also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness practices to help people live with difficult feelings without acting on them in ways they later regret. He says he will borrow from different approaches as needed rather than rely on one fixed method.

His background includes a master’s degree in counseling and psychology from Troy University and steady clinical work in mental health and addictions since 2012. That mix of addiction and mental health experience informs how he approaches anger and impulsivity, especially when substance use or trauma are involved.

In sessions he will listen for what triggers anger and work with practical strategies to reduce reactivity. He helps people develop clearer communication, manage impulses, and rebuild steadier routines. He also supports clients who want to explore spiritual concerns as part of their growth.
