Dr. James Geidner

Dr. James Geidner helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and relationship struggles. He also supports those dealing with trauma, parenting strain, grief, addictions, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and career transitions. With a straightforward style, he focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

Dr. Geidner holds LCPC and LPC credentials and brings 20 years of clinical experience. He has worked in psychiatric rehabilitation, child treatment centers, and universities. He combines hands-on practice with academic work as a professor of health and counseling.

In sessions he aims to match the approach to the person's needs rather than use one fixed method. That means talking through patterns, trying small behavior changes, and reviewing what helps most. He uses ideas from attachment-focused work along with cognitive and skills-based approaches.

People can expect a calm, problem-solving pace that focuses on real-life changes. He draws on experience supervising clinicians at hospitals and universities when a clear structure is helpful. The work is collaborative and tailored to each person’s situation.

For someone dealing with anger or related concerns, Dr. Geidner looks at triggers, communication patterns, and coping tools. He helps set concrete goals and practices techniques in session that can be used afterward. His background in diverse clinical settings informs a pragmatic and flexible style.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current feelings and reactions. It helps people understand connection patterns and how those patterns show up in anger and closeness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It helps with anger by identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing new responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, useful when strong emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and try methods that match your needs. Choices are revisited as progress is made so the plan stays relevant and practical.

Confirm current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks. Some formats require less bandwidth or no camera, which can help with shorter check-ins. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, attachment-focused work, and DBT skills to remote sessions so the focus stays on tools you can use between meetings.
