About James
James Greenwald is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing sleep problems, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. He also sees clients dealing with stress, self-esteem concerns, addictions, grief, anger, ADHD-related struggles, and questions about identity and intimacy. His tone is direct and practical, aimed at people who need clear tools and steady support.
James trained at Dallas Theological Seminary and has six years of clinical experience. He has worked in a wide range of settings, including private practice, hospitals, schools, crisis services, and correctional environments. That variety shaped a down-to-earth style that focuses on real-life problems rather than abstract theory.
In sessions he combines acceptance and commitment ideas with narrative approaches and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. He uses mindfulness practices and client-centered listening to help people notice patterns, manage overwhelming feelings, and make purposeful choices. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s readiness.
James aims to teach coping skills you can use between sessions. Expect practical exercises, chances to try new ways of responding, and focused work on communication and emotion regulation. He frames therapy as a process of building habits that lead to better rest, clearer decisions, and steadier relationships.
People often come for help with sleep, parenting strain, career direction, or relational cycles. He encourages clients to explore vulnerability and regain a sense of direction, while keeping goals realistic and sustainable.
Approaches that translate well to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, sleep disturbance, and feeling stuck. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, with practical tools for distress tolerance and emotional balance. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so people feel heard while they work through difficult decisions and loss.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the client’s rhythm and adjust the plan over time based on progress and feedback.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports steady skill practice between meetings, helping people apply ACT, DBT, and client-centered work to the routines that affect sleep, stress, and relationships.
