James Fry

James Fry is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 40 years of clinical experience. He helps people handle stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and anger. He aims to make the first step feel manageable and acknowledges the courage it takes to begin.

He focuses on making the therapy room a place where people can speak openly. Conversations are direct and practical. The emphasis is on naming feelings, spotting patterns, and trying small behavior changes that can reduce tension and impulsive reactions.

James often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thoughts, feelings, and actions. He works with clients to identify unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding. Sessions include goal-setting, skill practice, and reviewing what works between meetings.

Over four decades he has supported people through issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication problems, control concerns, and grief from divorce or separation. He also addresses guilt, shame, impulsivity, isolation, and men’s midlife challenges.

James practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. He does not accept international clients. To begin, people select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. His service uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How CBT and remote work can help with anger and stress

James uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people see how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing alternative responses so anger and anxiety become easier to manage. It is often focused on specific skills like calm breathing, thought checking, and stepwise behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different strategies and adjusting them over time.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone keep continuity of care when living in different parts of Texas. Ask about session length and how scheduling works to find a practical fit for everyday life.
