About James
James Bunch is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio with seven years of counseling experience. He approaches therapy as a partnership, aiming to listen first and then work with people on clear, practical steps toward feeling better. James frames his role as someone who comes alongside clients to address the struggles that brought them to therapy.
He helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, and grief, and with relationship and intimacy concerns.
Background and approach
He also supports people working through trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar challenges, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic pornography use. Parenting and communication problems are other common topics in his work. James commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness Therapy alongside motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques.
He explains strategies in simple terms and practices skills in session so clients can use them between meetings. He brings a down-to-earth style to sessions and often focuses on practical changes rather than long lectures. Sessions tend to include goal setting, skill practice, and checking what helps most for each person.
He aims for a straightforward pace and clear action steps. Outside of work, James lives in Ohio with his wife and five sons. He is active in his community and values faith, time outdoors, sports, music, and reading.
How therapy approaches adapt to online care
CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT sessions often include homework and short skill practices that are reviewed in video or message exchanges. DBT focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. In remote sessions clients can learn and rehearse DBT skills, then check in by text or chat about how the skills worked during the week.Finding the right approach tends to be a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the client’s goals and test methods that fit those goals. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT, DBT, mindfulness, or a mix based on what helps most in the first few sessions.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction for deeper work. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to practice skills between sessions and to keep therapy consistent despite a busy schedule.
