About James
Dr. James Guinee helps people who are dealing with anger, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and low self-esteem. He focuses on practical ways to manage stress, cope with life changes, and improve communication.
He is based in Arkansas and brings nearly 28 years of experience to his work. He spent much of his career in university counseling centers and later expanded into contract work with a local hospital and employee assistance programs.
Background and approach
His recent practice includes online work that concentrates on depression linked to overthinking and irrational beliefs, relationship concerns, grief and loss, religious conflict, nightmares and dream interpretation, anger management, and self-esteem struggles. In sessions he aims to create a collaborative space where people can be honest and receive straightforward feedback.
He describes himself as personable and relaxed and prefers not to push clients. He invites feedback and checks messages throughout the day to respond in a timely way. He has provided couples therapy and premarital counseling for many years, and will work with both partners when they are committed to the process.
He notes limited success with infidelity and does not address physical intimacy issues or addictions in his practice. Dr. Guinee holds the credential AR Psychologist 97-02P, which indicates his Arkansas psychologist registration.
He accepts international clients and offers a range of session formats to fit different needs.

How his online approaches help with anger and relationships
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on chosen values. It can be useful for people who get stuck in overthinking, worry, or patterns that fuel anger. Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's perspective at the center of the work, offering a nonjudgmental space where a person can talk through feelings and get reflective feedback to build self-understanding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and life. That choice evolves over sessions as needs and priorities become clearer, and the therapist invites client feedback throughout the process.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on the go. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress between sessions, or when typing is more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
