James Farley

James Farley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He focuses on practical steps clients can use to feel steadier and more in control. James frames therapy as a collaborative process that begins with small, manageable changes.

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotional regulation and coping feel overwhelming. He also uses existential ideas to help people find meaning during major life changes, and hypnotherapy for targeted symptom work when appropriate.

James emphasizes clear, direct sessions that name problems and set short-term goals. He encourages clients to build on strengths they already have. Sessions are meant to feel like problem-solving, not just talking about feelings.

Over a decade of practice has included work with people dealing with parenting strain, caregiver stress, addiction, and chronic health challenges such as cancer. He also assists people with attachment and personality-related struggles, communication problems, and challenges around forgiveness, guilt, and shame.

James aims to help clients develop tools for sleeping better, managing anger, improving self-esteem, and navigating career changes. He supports coaching-style goals as well, such as clearer boundaries and steadier daily routines. The first step is typically a short plan focused on immediate relief and practical next steps.

How James applies therapy online and by approach

James regularly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought that worsen anxiety or depression, and then try practical changes in daily routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is offered for learning emotional regulation skills and coping strategies when emotions feel intense or overpowering.

Choosing the right approach is something James does together with each client. He listens to the main concerns, goals, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there he suggests a plan and adjusts it as progress is made so the work fits the person’s needs and preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that remote sessions help maintain consistency during work or caregiving demands, while still allowing focused, skills-based work between meetings.
