James Greenwald, LPC

James Greenwald is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Dallas, Texas, with six years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. He earned his counseling degree from Dallas Theological Seminary in 2012 and has worked in diverse settings including private practice, hospitals, schools, crisis environments, and correctional facilities. James brings training in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, family systems work, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help clients develop practical skills and new perspectives.

He regularly addresses struggles such as depression, anxiety, anger and irritability, grief, self-doubt, difficulty making decisions, fear and insecurity, suicidal thinking, and patterns of interpersonal conflict. James works with both individuals and couples, offering support for relationship concerns, parenting and fatherhood issues, addiction and recovery, trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and a variety of identity and family-of-origin issues. His practice also focuses on themes like attachment and abandonment, codependency, isolation, guilt and shame, and life purpose.

James frames counseling as a collaborative process that emphasizes growing self-awareness and coping skills rather than promising instant fixes. He invites people who are ready to explore vulnerability and build resilience to work toward clearer direction and more fulfilling connections in their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care with James Greenwald

James integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. ACT supports people facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and struggles with motivation by focusing on what matters most in their lives.

He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach practical strategies for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive behaviors, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is useful for overwhelming stress, anger, relationship conflicts, and patterns of crisis-driven coping.

Client-centered therapy is central to his approach as well, emphasizing empathetic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and respected while exploring personal goals and growth.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. James works collaboratively with each person to identify the methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to support progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, or geographic distance. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into day-to-day life, and access support from licensed professionals in a way that works for the client.
