About me

I offer virtual counseling and coaching to people across the world. I help stressed, anxious individuals with strategies to help them feel more satisfied and at peace in their connection with themselves and those around them. If you have tried to make the changes on your own and have just been met with little or no success, I can provide tools for you to make positive changes, which worked for many of my clients. I support people in discovering more about themselves and unveiling previously hidden negative patterns so that they can begin to have more control over their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I use a number of strategies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you accomplish the goals we establish. This strategy helps many clients reassess their unproductive thinking patterns and make positive changes that may help them toward a greater sense of well being.

Since I also work with face to face clients in several offices, I have reserved Tuesday's only for virtual/online video/audio meetings. Of course I am available throughout the week for texting, etc. If this works for you, I would like to work with you. If my schedule does not work for you, please feel free to choose another counselor before choosing me since it may suit your schedule better.

I know from years of involvement helping individuals with anxiety that you have the potential ability to make productive changes in your life. If you are ready to do the work, you will be surprised at how skilled you can become to discover some organized and creative parts of yourself. The progression of therapy/coaching is designed to prompt quicker more successful growth than you may be having now.

My clients are high-functioning, motivated, and committed to making changes in their life and I provide them with tools and methods to reach their potential on their own, many times with little or no need for further counseling. I work well with entrepreneurs, professionals, and graduate students helping them develop strategies to prioritize tasks, improve production, and manage stressful relationships. Because your time and money are valuable, I try to be as organized and goal oriented as possible.

Since psychology is continually evolving, I attend numerous workshops annually to learn the latest helpful strategies to help individuals improve themselves and their interactions with those around them. I am a lifelong learner, teach at a university to stay appraised of the latest research, and see these benefits in my therapy sessions.

I understand the thoughts and feelings that occur when stress and anxiety challenges are inhibiting your decision making and ability to take charge of your day. I provide you with strategies to manage your concerns. I assist you by listening to your story and evaluating which strategies and techniques may most benefit you. I want to help you to quickly move on your path to meaning, purpose, and success at home, work, and play.

I am an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia, USA and a Board Certified Counselor with the National Board of Certified Counselors (USA).

I look forward to collaborating with you.

Dr Ciraky has been very helpful in helping me work through a whole range of scenarios I was struggling with.

He is thoughtful and also the christian aspect added in makes it even more helpful and upbuilding.

I appreciate Jim so much, he is understanding of what I have to say and actually communicates about the situations I have been facing. I would highly recommend his services.

Dr Ciraky is patient and straight forward. I like his honesty. I also like how he tries to help me connect the dots in my situation so that I'll be able to find my own exit strategy and the road to healing and wholeness. Instead of telling me what to do, he just leads, guides, encourages, while letting me find my own way. I appreciate that.
