About James
Dr. James Young is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida with nine years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and mood concerns. He also supports people working on motivation, self-esteem, and issues related to attention and focus.
He aims to make sessions feel open and nonjudgmental so people can talk about hard things honestly. He has experience supporting members of the LGBTQIA community and works with individual clients on family and relationship concerns. He frames therapy as a step toward a more fulfilling life and offers practical, collaborative care.
In sessions he listens first and then helps set small, doable goals. He uses talk-based methods to build confidence and reduce overwhelming feelings. For attention and focus concerns he works on routines, strategies, and problem solving to improve day-to-day functioning.
He draws on approaches that help people change unhelpful thoughts, understand emotions, and build stronger relationships. Mindfulness skills are used to manage stress and stay present during difficult moments. Motivational tools help people find reasons to keep working toward their goals.
People who want straightforward, supportive therapy that combines listening with concrete tools may find his style helpful. To get started a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used so sessions fit into a person’s life. If you are looking for someone to help with coping after disruptive events, he includes disaster-related coping among his focus areas.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and respect, helping people feel heard and understood while they name goals and challenges. It is often used for relationship strains, self-esteem, and making sense of difficult experiences.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, attention concerns, and managing mood swings by practicing skills between sessions.
Finding the right approach is usually a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs and then suggest methods to try. Sessions can shift as progress and priorities change, so treatment is adjusted together over time.
Confirm the current session options before booking to know which online or in-person formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for consistent check-ins during life transitions. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy while managing work, caregiving, or recovery from disruptive events such as natural or human-caused disasters.
