About James
James Wells is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with three years of clinical experience. He practices in Alabama and holds LPC credentials for Alabama and Georgia. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and other life changes.
James focuses on practical, conversation-based work. He listens to the immediate problems and helps people set short-term goals. Sessions include discussing current patterns, trying small behavioral changes, and tracking what helps over time.
His approach draws on several evidence-based methods. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and test unhelpful thoughts. He brings elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and commit to manageable steps. Attachment-based ideas inform how past relationships shape present reactions.
James also supports people handling grief, trauma, parenting stresses, intimacy-related issues, and questions around sexual identity. He has experience with ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas he lists include blended family issues, adoption and foster care, and caregiving stress.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to the client and taking small, values-driven steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for people dealing with anxiety, life transitions, or motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses simple experiments and skills practice to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and helps people try different ways of relating when they feel triggered. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. The choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as sessions progress based on what the client finds helpful. Session logistics should fit into everyday life. The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to schedule appointments around work or caregiving and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use focused exercises, guided behavioral experiments, and homework tasks that translate well to remote sessions, helping clients practice new skills between meetings.Areas of expertise
