About James
James (Jim) Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 35 years of experience. He works with people facing depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, substance issues, and anger. He also helps with stress, anxiety, trauma and eating concerns as they come up in everyday life.
Jim describes working directly on what is happening now. He draws on existential ideas to help people look at meaning, choice, and responsibility in their lives. That perspective is paired with techniques that increase awareness of present feelings and behaviors that get in the way of change.
Sessions are practical and straightforward. Jim aims to identify patterns that keep a person stuck and then tests small shifts to see what helps. He can talk through how anger shows up at work, at home, or in relationships and what might reduce unwanted reactions.
Over decades of practice he has worked in clinical and supervisory roles, often helping people navigate grief, coping with life changes, and end-of-life questions. He also brings experience supporting clients with bipolar symptoms and infidelity-related distress when those are part of a person’s story.
Jim invites each person to build a clear plan for therapy goals and next steps. He asks about what matters most to the client and then works on concrete changes that fit daily life. For booking, readers should confirm current session options before scheduling.
How sessions work
Existential approaches and online work
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and responsibility. It helps when someone feels stuck, disconnected, or unsure about what matters. This approach can be useful for grief, life transitions, and questions about purpose.Present-focused techniques emphasize awareness of feelings and behaviors in the moment. That makes it easier to spot how anger or avoidance shows up and to try small changes that reduce reactivity. Together these methods aim to clarify values and practical next steps rather than promise quick fixes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process guides which techniques are used and how sessions proceed.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. It can also let people avoid being on camera when they prefer a phone conversation. Discuss format preferences when scheduling to find a practical setup that fits everyday routines.
