Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Flexible Delivery

James Wells draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, helping people explore their values and goals while feeling heard and respected. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and impulse-driven behaviors.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. James works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. This partnership helps tailor sessions so they feel purposeful and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for those seeking support. Video calls and phone sessions allow for real-time conversation and deeper connection, while live chat and text-based messaging provide flexibility for busy schedules or moments when written reflection feels easier. These options help make ongoing care more accessible and adaptable to changing life demands.
