Aaron James, LPC

Aaron James earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in May 2018 and practices as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) - a state credential that indicates formal training and licensure to provide counseling services. With five years of clinical experience, he combines education and hands-on work across diverse settings to connect authentically with people facing difficult emotions and transitions.

He addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. He also focuses on related areas such as attachment difficulties, body image, control issues, dissociation, emptiness, family-of-origin patterns, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation or loneliness, life purpose, men's issues, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and self-harm.

His approach centers on collaboration and practical strategies. He draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), existential and narrative approaches, solution-focused methods, and trauma-focused therapy to help people build coping skills, increase awareness of their strengths, and explore meaning and purpose. His background includes work with children, adolescents, couples, groups, and with individuals in probation and prison settings.
