About James
James Davis is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and parenting challenges. He works with individuals facing trauma, grief, relationship strains, and identity concerns, including LGBT issues. He emphasizes practical steps and steady support for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck.
He aims for a calm, direct style in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can change.
Background and approach
He uses simple tools to reduce symptoms and build routines that fit a person’s life. Sessions move at a practical pace and respect each person’s goals. James draws on several therapy approaches depending on the need.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Attachment-Based work looks at how past relationships shape present reactions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be used when trauma memories get in the way of daily life.
He values collaboration and helps people try different strategies until something works. That could mean short-term skill building or longer exploration of life patterns. James encourages small, manageable changes and tracks progress together.
James earned a master’s degree in mental health counseling and a bachelor’s in psychology and human development. He holds the Utah LCMHC credential. He offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
James commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns that cause stress and replace them with more helpful options. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and behavior change. He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationship experiences shape current reactions and closeness struggles. That work can help with intimacy-related issues and recurring relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what actually helps in daily life.
Online therapy with him is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexible access. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when a written format feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between appointments.
