James "Rick" McCommon, LPC

James "Rick" McCommon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with ten years of counseling experience. He has worked since completing his master's degree in Counseling and Psychology in 2012. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and anger, and supports work on self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Rick keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. He focuses on helping people speak about what is happening, notice unhelpful patterns, and practice different ways of responding. He uses familiar language and clear tools rather than jargon. Sessions move at a practical pace so people can try new approaches between meetings.

His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered ways of listening. That mix helps with managing strong feelings, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and making committed changes that match a person's values. He also integrates existential and Jungian ideas when they fit the client's concerns.

Rick has supported people dealing with a wide range of life stressors including trauma, grief, intimacy-related issues, and addictions. He also works on issues like body image, codependency, first responder stress, and complications around gender dysphoria and cultural identity. He brings direct, practical focus to each session.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
