James Johnson

Hi there, I'm James!

I work with individuals, children, and couples hoping to gain confidence in healthier communication skills. Understanding you and building an alliance creates a safe place to practice and process your thoughts and feelings. Processing past experiences helps you identify ongoing needs and grow within yourself.

My focus

I help clients improve communication through active listening and developing I statements. We focus on anxiety, depression, stress management, emotional regulation, and building deeper connections in relationships.

My approach

I use cognitive behavior therapy to help you identify and change negative thought patterns, improving emotions and behaviors. We may also use Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness skills encourage being present and accepting thoughts without judgment.
