About James
James Wells is an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three years of clinical experience. He works with adults who want to manage stress, anger, relationship tensions, addiction, anxiety, depression, and related life challenges. He offers straightforward support for people frustrated by snapping at loved ones, building resentment, or feeling overwhelmed at work.
He listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try practical alternatives. Sessions focus on small, concrete skills you can use between meetings. He draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and on acceptance-based approaches to reduce avoidance and build living that matters to you.
Attachment-based principles guide his work with relationship and intimacy concerns. That means paying attention to how past connections shape present reactions and communication. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance need strengthening.
James frames work as collaborative. He names what he notices, suggests experiments, and checks what fits your life. Progress is measured in clearer conversations, fewer explosive moments, and better ways to recover after a flare-up.
He practices in Alabama and holds LPC credentials in Alabama and Georgia. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Before booking, confirm the current session formats offered.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then committing to actions that reflect your values. It can help with anger that keeps you acting in ways you later regret. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for workplace stress and repetitive anger responses. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and communication, which can help with intimacy and conflict issues.Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques in-session, and adjust based on what helps you meet your goals. This is a collaborative process where client feedback shapes which methods continue to be used.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or let them continue therapy while traveling. Therapists can use skills coaching, behavioral experiments, and communication practice adapted for remote sessions to keep progress practical and applicable to daily life.
