James Harris, LPC

James Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arkansas with five years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, anger, depression, and life transitions. He approaches each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Seeking change takes courage, and he aims to offer steady support as people take those first steps.

His sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas to help people clarify values and take small, meaningful actions.

Client-Centered Therapy shapes his focus on listening and following the client’s lead. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are introduced when people need tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Existential therapy ideas help those wrestling with big life questions find personal meaning.

James works in plain language and avoids jargon. He breaks challenges into manageable steps and practices skills in real situations. Sessions are collaborative: goals are set together and progress is checked regularly.

He offers sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and the cost varies with location and therapist availability. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to connect people and schedule the first session.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors between meetings. That approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving clear exercises to try.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. In remote sessions ACT work can include values-based exercises, mindfulness practices, and short behavioral experiments to try during the week.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and meeting people where they are. In online meetings this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is shared, and helps the person find their own solutions.

Picking the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust as needed to find what fits.

Online formats offer practical advantages. Video calls are close to in-person sessions and allow face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or quick skills practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
