James Harris, LPC

James Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arkansas with five years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, and helping people cope with life changes. He starts by listening and treating each person as the expert on their own story.

James believes change begins with small, practical steps. He looks for strengths a person already has and builds from there. In sessions he helps clients make sense of patterns that cause pain and develop manageable ways to respond differently.

His work addresses related issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, and communication problems. He also supports people facing chronic pain, illness, and disability, and those dealing with divorce or separation. Sessions may touch on mood dysregulation, dissociation, and other complex reactions to stress.

James uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. He adapts techniques to everyday life so skills feel useful between sessions. The goal is practical change that fits the person’s values and daily demands.

People who prefer straightforward conversation and a collaborative plan may find his style helpful. He encourages questions and works at a pace the client can manage. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling for Arkansas-based practice.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters most and take steps toward those values. It uses simple exercises to notice thoughts and keep moving toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical activities. It often includes small homework tasks to try between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening stance where the therapist follows the client’s lead and reflects what they say.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those needs. Decisions about which techniques to use are collaborative and may change as therapy proceeds.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fewer disruptions to a daily routine. Online work can make it simpler to fit short check-ins around work or caregiving, and can remove travel time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking to see what formats are available and which will best fit your situation.
