About James
James Fry is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 40 years of experience helping people who struggle with stress and anxiety. He supports those coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, and anger. He aims to make starting therapy a manageable step for anyone feeling overwhelmed.
In sessions he focuses on clear conversation and practical steps. He encourages people to name what’s hardest and to try small changes that can reduce pressure. He works to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.
His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, using straightforward tools to spot unhelpful thinking and test different behaviors. That work often pairs well with problem-solving around communication, control issues, and managing strong emotions like anger.
Over four decades he has supported people facing family conflict, separation, caregiving stress, chronic illness, addiction struggles, and feelings of isolation. He also addresses concerns related to attachment, abandonment, guilt, and forgiveness in everyday terms rather than technical jargon.
Sessions are offered in English and are based in Texas. Therapy is presented as a collaborative effort - clients set goals and he helps design steps toward them. To begin, follow the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.
