James Harris, LPC

James Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor with five years of experience practicing in Arkansas. He focuses on stress and anxiety along with addictions, anger, depression, and coping with life changes. He believes people know their own story and brings a steady, supportive presence to help them move forward.

He uses plain talk and practical steps in sessions. He helps clients notice what matters to them, try new ways of responding, and build habits that reduce overwhelm. Sessions are collaborative - he listens, reflects, and offers exercises clients can use between meetings.

James draws on several evidence-informed approaches. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and live toward them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy shapes the relationship so clients feel heard and understood.

People who are stressed by life transitions or under ongoing pressure often seek his help. He also works with those managing addiction challenges, anger, chronic pain and relationship difficulties that affect daily life. His style is straightforward, patient, and goal-focused.

James invites prospective clients to consider what they want to change and what small first steps might look like. He supports clients as they try new strategies and adjust plans when needed. The aim is steady progress toward clearer priorities and more manageable days.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters and take small steps toward those values. Online ACT sessions often focus on noticing thoughts and practicing value-driven actions between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thinking patterns that lead to distress and tests new behaviors to reduce symptoms. In online CBT, clients can track thoughts, try experiments, and review progress together with the therapist. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client leads the pace and topics, which fits well with remote conversations and steady check-ins.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may shift as progress is made or new issues arise.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce the need to travel. It also supports consistent practice of coping skills between meetings and keeps progress visible through shared worksheets and notes.
