James Gibb, LCPC, LPC

James Gibb is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. He works with adults and teens on relationship challenges, grief, trauma, parenting concerns, sleep problems, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and aging and geriatric issues. James holds LCPC and LPC credentials and brings 15 years of clinical experience to sessions.

He keeps therapy practical and down to earth. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings, not just talk. James blends conversational listening with hands-on strategies to manage emotions, improve sleep, and reduce overwhelm.

His style draws on client-centered listening and mindfulness practices to help people notice unhelpful patterns. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to clarify values and build committed action. Solution-focused work helps set small goals and track change week to week.

James also offers existential-informed conversations for people wrestling with meaning, choice, and life transitions. When relevant, he integrates philosophical ideas into counseling to surface new perspectives and options. He gathers feedback each session to adjust the approach together.

He can work with people on the autism spectrum who are high functioning and need support with social adjustment. James can administer personality and intelligence tests when testing is useful to treatment planning and understanding strengths.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

James uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on attentive listening and responding to what the client brings so they feel heard and understood. This helps build trust and encourages clients to explore difficult feelings at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. He will discuss different methods and work with the client to choose what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process is part of treatment rather than a one-time decision.

Please confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins that still keep progress on track. Therapists can adapt ACT and client-centered methods to remote meetings, and sessions often focus on real-life practice between meetings to support change.
