Kristi James
I’m Kristi James, a Licensed Professional Counselor passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and find balance. I earned my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Alabama State University and have experience supporting clients through a wide range of mental health concerns. Using a blend of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Exposure Therapy, I tailor my approach to meet each person where they are. Whether you're working through past trauma, struggling with self-worth, or learning to set healthy boundaries, I’m here to help you unravel the tangled threads of your story and weave a path forward.

I believe healing is a journey best walked together, hand in hand. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or hopeless, you don’t have to face it alone, I’m here to support you. Outside of therapy, I love traveling, exploring new cultures, and embracing new experiences. Self-care is essential, and I find joy in life’s simple pleasures: reading a good book, connecting with loved ones, and taking in the world around me. Let’s begin the journey toward clarity and healing together.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
Having worked with individuals for the past few years, I specialize in helping others (a) identify the root cause of their challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with individuals (starting age 15) who are dealing with transitions and life stressors. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious. However, we work together to improve your way of life.
