About James
James Price-Chandler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. He aims to make the first step into therapy feel achievable and supportive.
He uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their struggles. That work often pairs with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-based goals and practical steps toward a better day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when thinking patterns and behaviors need clearer, direct skill work. Sessions are simple and straightforward. James creates an open space for clients to say what matters to them without judgment.
He listens for patterns related to attachment, abandonment, or codependency, then helps people notice alternatives they might not have seen before. He also supports people dealing with blended family issues, caregiver stress, body image concerns, and difficulties with communication or control. Practical strategies are offered alongside longer-term narrative work so clients can try small changes between sessions.
With five years of experience in clinical settings, James blends active listening with concrete techniques. He speaks English and works with adults in Florida. He encourages those taking the first step to proceed at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking James directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and action-focused therapy work online
James draws on Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they face, putting troubling events into a story that can be reviewed and revised. This helps when issues feel stuck, like patterns of shame, guilt, or identity problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also used to clarify values and set small, doable actions that move a person toward what matters most. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles because it pairs acceptance with practical steps.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. James will talk with each person about their goals and comfort level, then try methods that match those needs. He adapts the plan as people learn what helps, combining narrative exploration with skill work when that makes sense.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and richer rapport. Phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing support, or when a quieter form of contact fits into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and work on changes between sessions.
