About James
James Greenwald is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. He works with individuals trying to find clearer direction, cope with grief or loss, or handle impulse and control issues. People also seek him out for help with addiction concerns, sleep problems, and struggles around self-esteem and intimacy.
James uses straightforward, practical work in sessions. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and value-based action.
Background and approach
He also uses client-centered and narrative ideas to help people tell their story differently and find new meaning. His background includes six years practicing in a variety of settings, including independent practice and clinical environments. That experience includes working with people facing trauma, family of origin problems, and life transitions.
James aims to respond to the immediate problem while also building long-term coping skills. In sessions he focuses on simple tools you can use between meetings. That includes mindfulness exercises, concrete communication techniques, and steps to reduce impulsive reactions.
He frames these as skills to practice, not quick fixes, and checks in on how they fit your daily life. James encourages a collaborative approach. He helps clients set realistic goals and chooses techniques that match their needs and preferences.
If you want practical strategies for anger or clearer ways to handle life’s pressures, he offers hands-on support to work through them together.

How his approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This approach is useful for anger, anxiety, and finding direction. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on learning concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication, which can help with impulsivity and relationship conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. James will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together you decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as you learn what fits best.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit your schedule. Video is good for deeper conversation and practicing skills together. Phone sessions or live chat can be easier on busy days or when you need a shorter check-in. Text-based messaging supports ongoing coaching-style contact and quick skill reminders between meetings.
