About James Beller

James Beller is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida who holds a master’s degree in Counselor Education from the University of Central Florida. Licensed as a mental health counselor in Florida since 2001, he has built a career that spans private practice, agency settings, and work within the public school system.

His therapeutic foundation is rooted in a person-centered approach, emphasizing empathy, unconditional positive regard, and warmth as central elements of the helping relationship. He also relies heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns. In practice he brings a thoughtful, reasoned stance to the counseling process and holds the view that an effective therapist does not work harder than the clients they are trying to help.

In addition to person-centered techniques and CBT, he is a trained hypnotherapist and applies hypnotherapy when it may help individuals who continue to struggle with past trauma. He describes counseling as a fulfilling vocation and is committed to helping people find healthier paths forward in their lives. Outside of his professional life he is married and is a parent and grandparent, with three children and one grandson.
