About James

James Greenwald is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. He uses straightforward, practical conversations to help clients find clearer direction and better ways to cope. James draws on six years of clinical experience to guide those dealing with grief, addiction, self-doubt, and issues around intimacy or parenting.

He trained at Dallas Theological Seminary and has worked in a range of settings including private practice, hospitals, schools, crisis response, and correctional environments. That variety shaped a flexible approach that adapts to how people actually live. Sessions focus on real problems, not jargon, and aim to build skills people can use between meetings.

James blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered methods, Mindfulness, and Narrative Therapy in his work. He helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new responses, and create personal goals that feel meaningful. Techniques are practical and paced to fit each person’s needs.

In sessions he prefers a collaborative tone. People set priorities and try out strategies together. James emphasizes building insight, emotion regulation, and stronger communication skills over time.

His practice supports those coping with anger, sleep difficulties, ADHD-related struggles, career uncertainty, and questions of life purpose. People interested in starting are invited to complete the platform’s matching process and schedule a first session to see if the approach fits.

Using ACT, DBT, and Mindfulness Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then uses values-based goals to guide action. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling conflict. It is often used for impulsivity, anger, and intense mood swings.

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and simple exercises to reduce reactivity and sharpen attention. It supports stress reduction and better sleep habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan over time.

Practical benefits of online work include making sessions easier to fit into busy days and reducing travel time. Online therapy can allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and can be easier to join when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
