About James

James Herrington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and related mood or behavior challenges. James also addresses issues such as grief, addictions, intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, and life purpose.

In sessions he uses clear, direct conversation to help people sort through what feels stuck. He listens for patterns in thoughts and behaviors and helps clients try practical steps to test new ways of coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice different responses. Client-Centered methods keep the focus on the person’s priorities and experiences.

James has worked with people affected by post-traumatic stress and other trauma-related problems. He may use trauma-focused approaches and EMDR techniques to process past events when that fits the client’s goals. He also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, control issues, and the fallout from separation or divorce.

Practical matters such as money and financial stress, work and life transitions, and parenting strain are part of his caseload. He helps people set small, manageable goals and checks progress over time. The emphasis is on plain language and steps that can be practiced between sessions.

Sessions are conducted in English and James accepts international clients. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and then schedule a first session through the service’s booking flow.

How James uses therapy methods online

James uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s experience and priorities. That approach means sessions begin with listening and reflecting on what matters most to the client, helping them decide which issues to work on first.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT provides concrete skills and exercises that clients can try between sessions to test different ways of thinking and behaving. EMDR and trauma-focused techniques may be used when past events are part of a person’s concerns and the client wants to address them directly.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. James will talk with each client about their goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try. He checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is reviewed.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some clients find video useful for face-to-face interaction, while others prefer phone check-ins that require less bandwidth or camera time.
