About James
James Farley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, addictions, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, and issues around self-esteem and career change.
His style is direct and practical. He treats anger as a behavior to understand and change, not a character flaw. Sessions focus on what happens in daily life - triggers, reactions, and patterns that keep problems going. He uses straightforward skills practice and talking to help people make different choices in heated moments.
James commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Existential ideas help when clients face meaning questions after loss or big life changes.
Hypnotherapy is also listed among his approaches and may be used alongside talk work when appropriate. He encourages clear goals and a step-by-step approach to change rather than vague promises.
People can expect a focus on skills, practical planning, and honest feedback. He asks about everyday routines, relationships, and any history that feeds current anger or other struggles. Work between sessions often includes small experiments and practice of new ways to respond.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow Texas LPC practice. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How sessions work
How James Uses CBT, DBT, and Hypnotherapy Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify the thoughts and habits that feed angry reactions. It breaks problems into small, changeable steps and uses practice to replace unhelpful patterns with new responses. This approach is useful for work-related frustration, rumination, and sleep disruption.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes concrete skills for managing intense emotions. Clients learn distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and communication strategies to reduce reactivity during heated moments. These skills are practical for relationship conflict and moments when anger escalates quickly.
Hypnotherapy can be used as an adjunct to talk therapy to support focused relaxation and behavior change. When chosen, it typically complements the skills and planning work rather than replacing it.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels doable, then try methods that fit those aims. Progress is reviewed regularly and strategies are adjusted based on what helps in daily life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. One common benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy around work and family obligations, such as shorter check-ins during a break or avoiding travel time. Another practical gain is using sessions to practice skills in the context of everyday routines, then report back on what worked.
