About James
LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) in Illinois with 11 years of experience, James Haros works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and family concerns. He sees adolescents and adults and uses cognitive behavioral and person-centered approaches to help people question unhelpful beliefs and find clearer ways to cope.
James earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in psychology and counseling from Benedictine University. He describes his work as practical and straightforward. Sessions focus on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and then testing small changes to see what helps.

In sessions he combines thought-focused techniques with a person-centered stance. That means he offers structured tools to change patterns, while also listening to what matters most to each person. The goal is workable strategies people can try between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work remotely
James uses cognitive behavioral techniques, which focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. This approach is useful for anxiety, panic symptoms, and depressive patterns because it breaks problems into concrete steps that can be practiced between sessions.He also uses person-centered methods that emphasize the person’s own goals and experiences. That approach shapes what is prioritized in sessions and guides which tools are tried next. Together, these methods aim to produce practical strategies rather than only discussing problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client will work together to decide which techniques fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited as work progresses so methods can shift when necessary.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday or lunch break, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many licensed professionals use remote sessions to maintain consistency of care while adapting session length and pacing to what fits someone’s daily life.
