About James
James Wells is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 10 years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, anger, and problems with self-esteem and career direction. He also addresses bipolar symptoms and related mood disorders.
Wells keeps sessions straightforward and focused. He describes therapy as two people sitting together, looking at a person's life map and deciding how to move from point A to point B. He positions himself as a guide and advisor, blending therapeutic techniques with practical, coaching-style steps.
His approach draws on client-centered work that prioritizes the person's perspective. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to build different patterns of behavior. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices are part of his toolbox for emotion regulation and present-moment coping.
Wells also uses solution-focused strategies to set clear, achievable goals and track progress. He works with issues such as codependency, commitment and communication problems, control issues, drug and alcohol addiction, guilt and shame, hoarding, and isolation or loneliness.
People who want concrete next steps often find his style helpful. Conversations are practical and aim to produce actions that fit daily life. He encourages clients to try small changes, review results, and adjust plans together.
How sessions work
Online approaches and what to expect
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. It means the therapist listens closely and helps you shape goals that matter to you. This approach is useful when someone wants a respectful, client-led way to sort relationship or parenting stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior. It involves practical exercises to test thoughts and build different habits. CBT can help with anxiety, mood concerns, and addictive behaviors by giving clear steps to try between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and help decide whether CBT, client-centered work, or DBT skills will be most helpful. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made. Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Online work can make regular follow-up simpler and help turn therapeutic suggestions into everyday routines.Areas of focus
