About James

James Greenwald is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas with six years of clinical experience. He helps people who are struggling with anger, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. James also works with issues around addiction, ADHD, grief, intimacy, and career concerns.

He trained at Dallas Theological Seminary and has worked in private practice, hospitals, schools, crisis settings, and prison systems. That range means he has seen difficult moments in many forms and brings straightforward, practical skills into sessions.

James uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, narrative approaches, client-centered work, and mindfulness. In practice that means learning concrete coping skills, noticing unhelpful thoughts, and trying small behavior changes between sessions. Sessions often include skills practice and frank discussion about patterns that keep problems going.

He describes therapy as a place to build useful skills and clearer self-knowledge rather than a promise to fix everything. James focuses on helping people recognize the patterns behind anger, impulsivity, and communication problems, and then testing different strategies to reduce reactive responses.

People meet him to work on anger and irritability, to repair communication in relationships, or to get steadier through big life changes. He offers direct feedback, practical exercises, and attention to how everyday routines and relationships shape feelings and behavior.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to remote work

James commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in practical ways. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values despite difficult feelings. DBT teaches specific skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Finding the right approach is part of the work. James treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help figure out which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. He checks in about what helps and adjusts techniques over time rather than sticking to one fixed plan. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. It also makes practicing skills between sessions more straightforward because exercises can be connected directly to daily routines and situations.
