About James
James Farley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and addiction. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that can be used between sessions. He frames the client as the expert in their own life and offers steady support while people work toward clearer goals and calmer days.
He draws on about ten years of clinical experience to guide conversations and treatment choices.
Background and approach
Sessions often begin with straightforward goals and small, doable steps. He uses techniques that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and manage strong emotions as they come up. James blends evidence-informed tools with an interest in meaning and values.
He will talk with clients about the patterns that shape behavior and also about what gives life purpose. That combination can help when someone faces low mood, relationship strain, sleep problems, addiction, or career stress. Hypnotherapy may be offered as one of several tools when appropriate, usually alongside other approaches.
He aims to match methods to each person’s needs rather than pushing a single style. Sessions are available in English and are provided through online formats like video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. The subscription model is used for sessions and can be canceled at any time.
Approach and online therapy options
James commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which teaches how thoughts and actions shape mood and behavior and gives concrete exercises to change habits. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help manage intense emotions, improve distress tolerance, and strengthen interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following one fixed method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video is useful for longer sessions and face-to-face interaction. Phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care across work, travel, or busy family routines.
