About James
Dr. James Florence is an LPC in Texas who helps people facing relationship struggles, anger, life transitions, work-related coaching, and compassion fatigue. He frames clients as the experts on their own stories and aims to support people who want clearer direction and more satisfying day-to-day life. His approach is practical and respectful, focused on small, steady steps toward change.
With 31 years of experience, he draws on client-centered methods to listen first and build trust. He also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes.
In sessions he emphasizes collaboration and real-world strategies. People can expect conversations that move between hearing what matters and selecting actions to try between meetings. He often works on communication, commitment questions, career stress, and handling strong emotions such as anger or shame.
Dr. Florence also supports concerns around aging, caregiver stress, midlife choices, loneliness, money worries, and process addictions like gambling or problematic sexual behaviors. He frames these as life problems to be addressed with practical change and clearer choices rather than labels that define a person.
He offers counseling from Texas and practices in English. Costs vary by location and are managed through a cancelable subscription model. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows the therapist's availability.
Approaches you can expect in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. The therapist reflects concerns, helps people clarify what matters, and supports them in making their own choices. This approach is often helpful for relationship issues, feelings of emptiness, and life purpose questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Sessions identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test different actions to reduce anger, anxiety, or problematic habits. It is practical and aims for changes people can notice between meetings.
Motivational Interviewing is a brief, conversational method that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It can be useful for work goals, commitment issues, or addressing process addictions by focusing on personal motivations.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, past experience, and what feels most useful. Together they can try an approach and adjust it as needed to fit changing needs and preferences.
Because the original profile does not list specific session formats, confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel for appointments. Many people find remote sessions let them apply new skills directly in daily life and follow up on practical steps between meetings.
