About James
James Davis is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, addictions, and depression. He also supports people facing trauma, grief, relationship or intimacy challenges, parenting concerns, career changes, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. He uses straightforward, practical methods and listens for what matters most to each person.
He trained with a masters degree in mental health counseling and a bachelor's in psychology and human development.
Background and approach
That background guides how he plans sessions and sets goals. He draws on a mix of approaches so sessions focus on what the person needs right now instead of a single technique. In sessions he keeps language direct and clear.
People can expect to talk about patterns, try skills for managing strong emotions, and look at what gets in the way of change. He helps people make small, concrete adjustments that add up over time. James works collaboratively on treatment choices.
He often combines cognitive behavioral tools with client-centered and attachment-based ideas to help people feel understood while building new ways of coping. He also uses EMDR for trauma-related work when that approach seems appropriate. With ten years of experience, James applies practical skills and steady support.
He aims to help people regain control over reactions, find relief from ongoing stress, and build routines that support better days.

Approaches for online work and emotional regulation
James commonly blends cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas when working online. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and teaches practical skills for managing anger, anxiety, and mood symptoms. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape reactions and aims to build safer ways of relating and expressing emotion.He treats approach selection as a team effort. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the person and therapist try out methods and adjust as needed to find the best fit for the issues at hand.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing reflection between appointments and can fit into busy schedules. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to use alongside work, school, or caregiving.
