James Greenwald

James Greenwald is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage anger along with stress, anxiety, and relationship strain. He draws on several therapy methods to help clients handle grief, addiction, career questions, and feelings of emptiness. James offers a direct and practical approach that aims to build skills and increase self-awareness over time.

He trained at Dallas Theological Seminary and has six years of clinical experience. That background includes time in private practice, hospitals, schools, crisis settings, and prison systems. Those varied settings shaped his acceptance of where people are and a pragmatic way of helping them move forward.

In sessions he uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, narrative work, mindfulness practices, and a client-centered stance. He focuses on clear skills people can try between sessions, like breathing and grounding practices, values-based goal steps, and communication strategies. He also helps people notice patterns that feed anger, impulsivity, or isolation.

James typically works with individuals and couples who want practical support rather than quick fixes. He emphasizes collaboration and gradual progress. His style aims to make therapy a place to practice different responses to stress and conflict.

People can expect straightforward conversation, guided exercises, and planning for real-life situations. The goal is better coping, clearer direction, and more confidence when handling hard moments.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when strong feelings are present. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and life changes where motivation and direction matter. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and impulsive reactions, like distress tolerance and emotion regulation skills that can be practiced between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away, which can reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adapting the plan as progress and preferences emerge.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are held. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit isn't practical. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, then bring observations back to therapy for adjustment and support.
