James Greenwald , LPC

James Greenwald is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Dallas, Texas, with 6 years of clinical experience. He holds a counseling degree from Dallas Theological Seminary (2012) and has worked across diverse settings including private practice, hospitals, schools, crisis situations, and prison systems. The LPC credential indicates formal training and state licensure to provide professional counseling services.

James draws from evidence-informed methods such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, family systems work, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to tailor treatment to each person's needs. He regularly supports people facing conflict patterns, depression, anxiety, anger and irritability, bereavement, self-doubt, indecision, fear and insecurity, and suicidal thinking. He also works with those navigating relationship and intimacy issues, substance-related concerns, life transitions, parenting and fatherhood challenges, and difficulties related to attachment and abandonment.

Working with individuals and couples, James emphasizes practical skills, increased self-awareness, and compassionate problem solving rather than promising quick fixes. His approach centers on helping clients build resilience, clarify values, and move toward lives that feel more purposeful and manageable. He invites people to explore vulnerability and self-acceptance as part of a collaborative journey toward meaningful change.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches into Online Care

James uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most to them and develop practical behavior changes that align with their values. ACT often supports work on anxiety, depression, life transitions, and a lack of direction by emphasizing committed action alongside acceptance of difficult emotions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills-focused strategies for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsivity, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can be especially useful for individuals coping with strong emotional reactions, relationship conflicts, and challenges with regulation.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening, respect, and supporting each person to find their own solutions. This person-first approach helps build self-awareness, confidence, and a trusting therapeutic relationship.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. James collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to maximize relevance and benefit.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for busy schedules, make it easier to maintain continuity across life changes, and expand access to licensed professionals from different locations. These options allow clients to choose formats that feel most comfortable while working toward their goals.
