About James
James Davis is an LCMHC based in Utah who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem struggles, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting challenges, anger, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related life changes.
Background and approach
He brings ten years of counseling experience and a background in psychology and human development to his work, focusing on practical strategies that help clients navigate difficult emotions and behaviors.
He practices from a trauma-informed perspective and integrates a range of therapeutic approaches to meet individual needs, including cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment work, client-centered methods, and EMDR for processing traumatic memories. James emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify goals and choose methods that fit their values and daily life.
His style balances structured skill-building with exploration of personal meaning and relationship patterns. James aims to create a space where people can address immediate concerns while building long-term coping skills.
He offers multiple remote session formats and guides clients through a straightforward onboarding process so they can begin work on the issues that brought them to therapy.
Approaches and Options for Online Care
James uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress. He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current intimacy and relational struggles, which can be useful for addressing relationship, grief, and self-esteem concerns. When trauma is prominent, EMDR may be used to assist in processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and James works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He reviews options together, adapts strategies over time, and supports clients in experimenting with techniques to see what fits best.
Online therapy with James is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats allow for ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and easier coordination of appointments, helping clients maintain continuity of care while working toward meaningful change.
