About James Greenwald
James Greenwald is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Dallas who brings more than five years of experience working across a wide range of clinical settings. He holds a counseling degree from Dallas Theological Seminary (2012) and has worked with clients in private practice, hospitals, schools, crisis settings, and correctional environments. He draws on a blend of evidence-informed methods including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, family systems work, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
James is practiced at addressing real-life pain and complex patterns such as ongoing conflict, depression, anxiety, anger and irritability, bereavement, self-doubt, indecision, fear, and suicidal thinking. He works with both individuals and couples, offering practical skills and emotional support to help clients manage stress, cope with life changes, and rebuild relationships. His approach emphasizes developing self-awareness, resilience, and actionable strategies rather than promising quick fixes.
Rather than positioning counseling as a cure-all, James frames therapy as a collaborative process where clients cultivate skills and insight to face challenges with greater confidence. He partners with people who are ready to explore vulnerability, work through painful patterns, and pursue healthier ways of living and relating.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
James integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) alongside client-centered principles to support clients in online sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and learning practical ways to accept difficult thoughts while committing to actions that align with what matters most - it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. DBT teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, making it useful for intense emotions, relationship struggles, and impulsive behaviors. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and supporting the client’s own pace and goals, which can help with self-esteem, decision-making, and building a stronger sense of self.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. James works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and he adapts techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor treatment to each person’s circumstances and priorities.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, geographical constraints, or varying comfort levels with remote care. These formats allow clients to access consistent support and practical skills work from locations that work best for them while maintaining the continuity of therapeutic work.
