About James
James Wells is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Alabama with three years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, career challenges, mood disorders, and related areas.
He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In sessions he focuses on feelings that are hard to name, how those feelings shape behavior, and the patterns that repeat in close relationships.
James helps clients talk through difficult emotions and build clearer communication habits. He works on practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, and on steps toward recovery from addictive behaviors. He also supports people managing grief, chronic caregiving stress, and changes in life roles.
His practice includes attention to attachment-related concerns, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, and sexuality topics such as BDSM and kink when they are relevant to a client’s wellbeing. He also has interest in topics like compassion fatigue, caregiver strain, and coping after disasters.
Sessions are in English, and James accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are organized through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name strong emotions and the interaction patterns those emotions create. It often focuses on how feelings affect close relationships and how to shift unhelpful cycles.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward values-based actions. It can help with anxiety, stress, and making changes that matter to the client.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and present-day relationship patterns to understand how attachment shapes reactions and expectations. This work can be useful for people dealing with abandonment, relationship mistrust, or caregiving strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. James will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than using a single fixed method. That collaboration includes checking in about what is helping and adjusting the focus over time.
