About James
James Montgomery is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with seven years of experience helping people navigate hard transitions. He focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. James works from Utah and speaks English.
He builds straightforward, individualized plans that reflect what a person is actually facing. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. He often blends Jungian therapy ideas with cognitive and behavior-focused tools to help people understand patterns that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
James also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered approaches to support values-based choices and to center the person’s own goals. Motivational interviewing is part of his toolbox for people who want help moving from doubt to action. These methods are selected to match what a person needs in the moment.
Typical issues he addresses include workplace stress, relationship communication problems, divorce and separation, first responder and veteran issues, post-traumatic stress, midlife concerns, and feelings of isolation or shame. He also helps with life purpose, forgiveness, impulsivity, and seasonal mood changes. In sessions he aims for clear talk, steady pacing, and concrete steps clients can use between meetings.
The focus is on small changes that add up to better daily functioning. People who prefer collaborative, reflective work tend to find his style helpful.

Online support
Approach and online options for thoughtful change
Jungian therapy looks at personal stories and recurring life themes to help people see hidden patterns that influence feelings and choices. It can be useful for those exploring life purpose, midlife shifts, or long-standing emotional patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people accept difficult thoughts while committing to actions that match their values, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person leads the pace and topics of work, supporting self-directed change.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a Jungian viewpoint to clarify patterns, using ACT for value-driven action, or leaning on client-centered conversations to build momentum.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets people see facial cues and practice new ways of relating, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders and brief reflections between visits. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity across changing schedules.
