About James
James Greenwald is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and challenges tied to identity and life changes. He pays particular attention to concerns common in men’s wellbeing, including anger, intimacy issues, fatherhood questions, and feeling stuck or directionless. Sessions focus on talking through real problems and building day-to-day skills for coping and connection.
James draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Narrative Therapy in straightforward ways. He blends practical skill-building with reflective conversation. Expect concrete tools for managing intense feelings and simple exercises you can try between sessions.
He trained at Dallas Theological Seminary and has worked across settings including private practice, hospitals, schools, crisis work, and correctional environments. That variety shaped how he responds to urgent problems and longer-term struggles alike. James has six years of counseling experience as a licensed clinician.
In sessions he focuses on helping people become more aware of patterns that cause pain, and then testing changes in small, manageable steps. He can support work on addictions, grief, parenting stress, ADHD-related difficulties, and issues like shame or codependency. Conversations aim to be direct, respectful, and solution-focused.
People who want clear, practical guidance and a collaborative approach may find his style a good fit. He encourages clients to bring specific goals, and he helps break those goals into achievable steps.
How key approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values. It helps when someone feels stuck, uncertain about purpose, or overwhelmed by painful thoughts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication skills, which can be useful for intense anger, impulsivity, or relationship conflict. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps rewrite unhelpful narratives into more useful ones.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them based on what helps over time.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during lunch breaks, evenings, or between other commitments. It also lets people use shorter check-ins when needed or focus on skills practice without commuting. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, DBT, and narrative techniques for remote sessions so you can work on values, emotion skills, and personal storytelling from your regular routine.
