About James
Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with 10 years of experience. James Davis helps people with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, grief, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and LGBT issues.
James works in direct, practical ways. He uses Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to guide sessions. Conversations are focused on what is causing distress now and what can change next. He helps people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and process difficult memories when needed.
He draws on ten years of clinical experience and a Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling. That background informs how he blends talking work with skills practice. Sessions can include focused skill building, longer explorations of personal meaning, or trauma processing depending on the issue.
James aims for straightforward collaboration. He listens, offers observations from the approaches above, and checks in about what is working. People leave sessions with clear ideas to try between meetings and small steps they can use right away.
Clients in Utah will find a therapist who combines trauma-aware methods with practical CBT strategies and person-centered attention. For parents and individuals facing relationship or mood concerns, he focuses on concrete changes and processing painful experiences.

How his approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns. Online sessions using this approach look at how connection, trust, and interaction habits affect relationships and self-regulation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions this often means setting specific between-session tasks and reviewing progress together. EMDR helps process traumatic memories through guided bilateral stimulation and focused processing. Remotely, it involves structured processing steps adapted for conversation and guided eye movement or other bilateral methods when appropriate.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to prioritize. That decision is based on the client’s goals, history, and what feels manageable during sessions.
Confirm the available session formats before booking as the original biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling. They also let therapists and clients review homework, use screen-shared worksheets, and quickly follow up on skill practice between meetings. Those practical benefits help integrate therapy into everyday life without changing the clinical process.
