Daniel James
Hi, I’m Daniel James. With three decades of experience as a licensed mental health counselor, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people navigate the complexities of modern life. I specialize in supporting those facing major transitions—whether you’re navigating a career shift, struggling in your relationships, or feeling the weight of the challenges of getting older. By integrating solution-focused strategies with mindfulness and CBT, I help you unpack the "why" behind your feelings and the "how" of moving forward.
First session
Our first conversation is dedicated to building a roadmap. We’ll explore where you are now so I can best guide you forward, while allowing you to decide if I’m the right person to walk that path with you.
Strengths
I bring 30 years of insight to the unique challenges people face in today’s world. My strength is my ability to provide a safe and supportive environment where traditional resilience meets modern emotional intelligence. By blending mindfulness with tactical, solution-oriented therapy, I help people navigate life’s toughest transitions with purpose and poise
Ideal clients
People facing the "What now?" phase of life. This includes those dealing with the "Empty Nest" syndrome, contemplating a late-stage career change, or facing the reality of aging.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core part of my therapeutic work, helping clients identify and understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. In sessions, I collaborate with clients to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, build healthier coping strategies, and practice new skills they can apply in real-life situations.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
Solution Focused Brief Treatment is a shorter term treatment and helps someone find solutions to immediately start implementing in their lives.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-centered therapy is a modality focused on meeting you where you are at and helping you feel valued, supported, and heard.
