About James

James Greenwald is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. He focuses on common, stressful life problems like anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, addiction, and problems with self-esteem. James speaks plainly and invites people to bring real concerns into the room.

He trained at Dallas Theological Seminary and has six years of counseling experience. His background includes work in private practice, hospitals, schools, crisis settings, and prison systems. That varied history informs his practical approach to everyday problems.

James combines Client-Centered Therapy with tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. He also draws on mindfulness and narrative methods to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions often focus on skills people can use between meetings.

In sessions James aims to help people increase self-awareness and build coping skills. He works with individuals and couples who want help with direction, communication, anger, parenting concerns, or intimacy-related issues. He also supports those facing attachment, abandonment, or family-of-origin struggles.

James describes counseling as a place to practice new habits and to gain confidence facing life’s ups and downs. He encourages honest conversation and gradual change. People who value clear, practical steps alongside a supportive presence may find his approach helpful.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own answers; online sessions use that same collaborative tone to build trust and clarity. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose values-based action, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be practiced between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is meant to be shared and adjusted as people learn what helps them most. Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or busy days, and it can reduce travel time. It also allows focused check-ins or longer therapeutic work without rearranging an entire day, helping therapy fit into everyday life rather than adding more to it.
