About James

James Davis, LCMHC helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and low self-esteem. He offers straightforward support for depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, career questions, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and life changes. He takes a practical, person-focused approach.

Sessions begin by hearing what matters most to the individual. From there he and the client pick a path forward using conversational work, skill practice, and pacing that fits the person's needs.

Background and approach

James trained at the master’s level in mental health counseling and holds a Utah Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential, LCMHC. He has ten years of experience in community and clinical settings helping people manage complex stress and recovery from difficult events. In therapy he blends methods so sessions feel concrete and useful.

He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts, attachment-based ideas to improve close relationships, and EMDR to process trauma memories when appropriate. Motivational interviewing and client-centered listening guide the pace. He focuses on clear goals and small steps that fit daily life.

That often means setting short-term tasks between sessions and tracking what helps. James works with each person to adjust the plan as progress is made and new concerns appear.

Online support

Approaches that translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behaviors and helps people build more stable connections and clearer boundaries. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and empathic reflection so the person leads the pace and topic of each session. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, helps process held trauma memories through structured phases that can reduce the intensity of distressing recollections.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. James will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match their goals and comfort. Together they review what’s working and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people read facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone is helpful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text messaging can fit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or days when writing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
