This is my first time doing online therapy but I’d say that James is leagues better than any therapist I’ve seen in real life.

I feel like James gets me. I know the details may be muddy to him when I explain my situation but he is able to break it down to the core elements of my situation and helps me approach my problems rationally while having realistic expectations. He also helps me prepare for undesirable outcomes.
