Rate James White

There aren’t a whole lot of people in the world I trust anymore.( Trauma hasn’t made me a a very trusting person; but ….it did make me funny so I got that going for me. ) However … I trusted this man with my life and I’m still here. Nothing will happen unless you put in the work and if you are willing to pay your dues so to speak the skills he teaches you will become invaluable. You’ll hear the phrase “this five minutes” more than you’ll ever want to. A more caring or compassionate therapist you won’t find anywhere else. He’s not clinical , in fact he’s the opposite which is why his style worked for me. I don’t think I would still be here if I got one of the run of the mill worksheet therapists. He listened to me when no one else would and saw me at some of the darkest moments of my life and somehow managed to lead me out of that hellscape of my mind to help me better deal with our current capitalist hellscape “ Yay I can cope better as we watch the world burn” Is it catastrophic thinking if it’s really happening? He’s got your back though, and holds the sword while you replace your armor, tend to your wounds and manage to get back up off the ground to fight another battle , another day.

Phenomenal provider. Listens before speaking. Also speaks with intent.

James Ryan White is hands down my best therapist. He gets me, he remembers what's going on. I take advantage of his group at times too. He responds, works @ my schedule, keeps me accountable and my life has improved

James White has helped me through the worst year of my life. He's supportive and really listens to what's going on and suggests solutions and gives insights. All around great therapist!

He’s a great therapist really helps me a lot

James has been my therapist on and over for years now. I’ve always tried to find a way back into a session with him. He’s a straight forward person and very honest. He’s helped me through my darkest times and I’m grateful to have met him

Absolutely wonderful

I have only had two sessions with James, aka Ryan, and I see a lot of promise in that short time. I really think he is going to be able to help me.

My experience this far has been great. I feel that all me need are being met!

It’s been 2 visit and James has helped me more than multiple counselors could in years. I will hope I keep James around the next few decades in my life. He is amazing!

Fantastic Christian counsler that cares and understands and truly wants to help.

James has truly been one of the biggest blessings in my life and vital to my recovery. He is an incredibly gracious and kind person. His love for Christ and passion for counseling are evident in his sessions. He is also so easy to talk with, and he is very down to earth. I would recommend James to anyone seeking counseling.

I’m so thankful for James. I always feel at peace after I have a counseling session with him. It’s like talking to a life long friend. He’s understanding and provides great feedback — anyone could apply to their life.

Working with James is akin to having a fantastic conversation with a really good friend who always know and when how to give the right encouragement, advice, direction, or even correction. Definitely been a blessing to me in many ways.

A great therapist. Never have I been so comfortable with one in a long time.

I talk about the platform daily. I do what i'm told, my life is tremendously better. This particular T is the only one to make measurable changes in my life, over being seen in 20 years.

He’s been a godsend for me. Gives great advice and support when needed and simply listens when it’s needed. I connected with him so quickly which is rare for me, im not a fan of therapists but James is amazing.

Ryan/James is exactly what I was looking for in a therapist!

James is great! He listens and offers practical advice. He holds me accountable and knows his stuff very well. He has given me some tools for my ADHD that have been extremely helpful.

He’s the best. He has helped me through numerous problems with his tough love and frankness.

James was extremely helpful with any issues that I had and always offered any kind of help no matter the issue. I thank him many times over for his service and experience.

James is really easy to talk to, and is very relatable with the way he gives advice. He understands scenarios quickly, and is good at recognizing things for what they truly are (opposed to my skewed views). Compared to previous therapists, he understands me and recognizes how I like to communicate. Would recommend him to anyone :)

I have used Ryan before in person and after I left therapy I searched for three-fours years just because he has been the only therapist I’ve had that has actually cared. I consider Ryan to be one of the best therapists available

Without a doubt the most genuine therapist I have worked with in over 20 years. He has a wealth of knowledge and can relate to experiences and challenges with compassion and understanding.

You can confidently give him a try. He knows what he’s talking about, he not only helps, but make you feel comfortable as well. He identified my problem and beside solving my problem, we even adressed some issues I didnt know I have.

When you have a precious heart that has been shattered on every rock , and you have been broken in what seems to be beyond repair, and you are seeking that final thing to keep you here… I was lucky enough to find him. He reached out a virtual hand with such tenderness yet straightforward honesty that kept me here and for that I am forever thankful and in a debt I can never fully repay. If you are willing to walk a painful road through you will finally find your way out. Ryan gave me the tools.. I just had to do the deep introspective digging.

Ryan is easy to talk to and he seems like an old friend. He is knowledgeable and cares about his patients. I would highly recommend him.

James White is a tell it like it is therapist. I need someone like him to hold me accountable for my good and bad behavior. He’s also really funny!

He’s a great guy. 10/10 therapist. I can truly say I have gotten the help I need.

I have recommended betterhelp to a ton of people. My therapist is the best.

Whether you are having a temporary setback or in my case a complete mental breakdown… Ryan is your guy. He skillfully navigated me through the tumultuous waves of trauma that relentlessly pounded my chest, but after I put in the work… I was no longer drowning in the abyss of my mind , and no longer anchored to the moments that sunk me. There really isn’t a price point you can put in having your life back so indeed this experience to me… is priceless . What makes him a great therapist is his straight forward attitude, his belief you can and will get better , but mostly it was his sense of compassion that really sets him apart. Ryan doesn’t just teach DBT but he lives , breathes, and thinks it as well. The skills and advice he gives will be things you use every single day. You will hear “this five minutes “ probably every five minutes but it’s because that needs to hit home, for every single trauma survivor whose brain launches you into the past … this five minutes is crucial … He didn’t just change my life… he saved it. And that ripple effect… goes all the way out, he saved me , he saved my marriage , he saved my family, and that’s a legacy that doesn’t win awards, doesn’t get degrees but alters the entire scope of humanity. So thank you Ryan. I’m finally living in “this five minutes”

He helped me save myself for once instead of me trying to save everyone else! I’ve recommended him many times over and will continue to do so! It’s been almost 8 months since my last session with him and I I’ve finally been succeeding! I feel happy and content with my life and myself again!

Ryan has saved my life. I'm not joking. I'm not in jail today, I'm not using today, I'm progressing in therapy in a shorter time than the rest of my whole damn life. I'm sober today. I'm alive today. I do my homework and i appreciate and am so grateful i was matched with him bc i know for a fact i would not have had the same success. I'm still learning, it takes work but I'mv here to work. And he is too. Pay him more. Never let him go and treat him right. If he left better help i would too. Straight up. Noone can do what he has and continues to for me.

Tells it like it is even when you don’t want to hear…but you need to.

James White is an excellent therapist, with a style that fits my needs well. I highly recommend his services. He's helped me change my life for the better, and now I'm living the best life I ever have.

He’s very aware and has a good method of going about changing the I respond to my emotions

Great!

There are two people in my life that have made an instrumental impact in the trajectory of my existence : My husband and Ryan White. I can pinpoint the multitude of times in this past year where I felt like giving up and these two… wouldn’t let me. I was finally seen, heard, validated more in this year than in the last 35. I cannot put into words enough thanks for these 5 more minutes I was granted by the serendipitous circumstances that landed me in therapy and met with the exact therapist I needed . He is extremely well versed in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (which is mindfulness combined with cognitive behavioral therapy.) Which if you are a “difficult” case (my words not his) then that can mean the difference between a bandaid for a bullet wound (the other therapies I had tried ) Vs actual sutures to stop the bleeding … and when we started I was bleeding out in every mental health sense … struggling to survive. And I’m finally able to not only see the light… but starting to feel like I can finally thrive. If you commit and do the work, work the plan, practice the skills , Ryan will hold your virtual hand through the process so that you don’t have to face the darkness in your life alone.

I love Ryan. He's helped me in several areas I've been struggling with for years. The skulls i am learning from him are going to be what literally saves me life.

James is intuitive, smart and adaptable. He has given me the tools I needed to cope with my situation. If you are willing to listen to him and use the skills he teaches you, you will find yourself in a better mental space very quickly!

The best I've ever worked with

The help that I have received from James has helped me greatly, and I have recommended this service to others because of him.

He is an excellent resource and listens well and helps me tie together my feelings which have been at odds. Thanks my friend!

Ryan has been supportive and helpful through all of my struggles. He is calm and firm and keeps me focused on what to do to work through my problems.

He’s great.

I’m not convinced I have appropriate words to express how much I appreciate finding James White as a therapist. He has been an amazing partner & guide to help me find my way out of the emotional jungle from which my existence has been trapped for so long. I can honestly say my sessions with him have been life changing.

He's like my soulmate inn therapy. I like his straightforward style and accountability. It's really helped me make bigger changes sooner.

The therapeutic process that he uses is candid, to the point, doesn’t mince words while being completely approachable and has made a night and day difference in my life . Point of fact, I probably wouldn’t have been successful in my healing without someone like him at the helm. And possibly revealing too much information but I probably wouldn’t still be here to write this review if it weren’t for him. My journey is far from over but compared with where I was months ago … I can see the light at the end of the tunnel whereas before… I wasn’t even aware there was a tunnel… I cannot thank him enough…

I’ve been with James for a while now and he’s been amazing. He listens and quickly understands my point of view. He always gives me very solid advice. After every call I feel much more relaxed and in control. I love the way he does therapy. He is very much himself in every call and gives therapy a very great and real experience.

Thank You James for caring for me♥

Excellent

Fantastic work and really helpful

James “Ryan” is excellent & I would highly recommend his counseling sessions.

James is by far the best counselor I have met through BetterHelp. He’s always been invested in my life and he’s become someone I can trust and rely on when things get difficult.

James is professional yet touchable, friendly yet we wise in how he connects with you as a person and assists in building a platform for better mental health. His concern is for your wholeness and the pathway for this to occur.

He is insightful and intuitive. I think I have found someone to really help me resolve issues. I have hope in finding a more confident and better way to see things.

He’s the best

James really helped me through some rough times by listening to me and helping unfold how I was perceiving myself and the world around me.

I have been in one of the darkest places of my life. I felt like there was a black hole in my chest swallowing up every good feeling and thought. I’m so glad I stumbled across this counselor and Better Help. I feel like there is finally a glimmer of hope and that things can get better. It’s so hard to find secular and LGBTQ friendly therapy and with someone with a background who understands the trauma and the work needed to go through it... and is upfront with everything. Right off the bat I felt heard.... and that... that meant everything for my therapy journey because now I’m staying the course instead of saying “#%^* it” and being stuck again. I cannot recommend him enough... has changed and is continuing to change my life.

Ryan has been instrumental in helping me understand my anxiety and how I can better react to stressors in my life. He is immediately personable and engaged. I can’t recommend Ryan enough - if you are hesitant about therapy (as I was), give it a try. After just three weeks, I feel as if an immense weight has already been lifted from my shoulders. Thank you, Ryan - you are incredible at what you do.

I really like my counselor, he’s direct and calls me out. He is truly amazing at his job.

You have to be ready to be open, honest and TRY. Ryan though is to the point, im not trying to waste time or money, straight to business, just the way i like it.

Smart, funny guy.

Ryan has greatly helped me through these trouble times of my life!

I have participated in four therapy sessions with James. In that time James has helped me realize my thought patterns, built my confidence, helped me set goals, and also has helped me set boundaries and realistic expectations for myself. I am participating in therapy for grief and relationship issues, and James has helped me realize myself. James also is honest, no bull, while remaining respectful and insightful. Can’t recommend him enough.

Very professional, nice, and informative

James (Ryan) listens and gives practical advice about how to deal with problems. I appreciate his straight forward style.

Mr. White was one of the easiest counselors I’ve ever had to work with, I definitely recommend!

I started working with James a few weeks ago. He has been instrumental so far in steps to help me pinpoint problems and encourages healthy ways to cope. It appears he is quick to gage what kind of person I am and how to communicate effectively with me.

Ryan helped equip me with skills to better communicate and advocate for myself. These are skills that will benefit my life presently and in the future. I’m thankful that Ryan is a part of this platform. He’s dependable, honest, and is passionate about his patients’ success. The mental health field needs more therapists like Ryan.

He’s very direct and to the point. Understands my emotional states and is a pro at helping me break things down.

Ryan is a great guy and a super dependable counselor. He has helped me through a lot of rough patches.

Awesome

Good counselor God bless him

I was completely against going to therapy before due to bad experiences, but after experiencing therapy with James I’m finally understanding the benefits of how it can help even when I don’t have an overbearing issue to deal with.

James "Ryan" is awesome. Super helpful and personable. He has helped me through so much and continues to support me.

I have hugely benefited from my counselor on betterhelp

James is professional and courteous. I have enjoyed my sessions and he has provided me with helpful coping techniques. I highly recommend him.

James has been awesome so far. I identify with his methods and the skills he gives you to cope with different situations you find yourself in. There is no judgement, which allows you to be open and honest. The only downside, is the cost. It’s not something I can afford every month. Which that has nothing to do with James though!

Awesome dude

If you’re looking for a therapist that cuts the shit but will thoroughly listen to you, James “Ryan” is the perfect therapist and is more than qualified. During my first session, I had already gained a clarity I never had before and fully trust him because he is very honest and professional.

It's only been a couple of weeks, but I was pretty sad when I first reached out through my company's Employee Assistance Program. Working in a virtual setting because of Covid-19 is definitely different, but I felt comfortable right away with James to jump into some pretty deep stuff, and feel more hopeful than I have in a while. Concrete daily activities move me from one weekly session to the next, and I appreciate the sincere and focused help. I look forward to learning more about myself with Ryan's help.

Highly recommend him as a counselor. He always responds in a professional and understanding manner. He's a really cool counselor who understands how to help you cope with whatever you go through.

He has one of the most calming energies. He knows exactly what I’m thinking and has been a great help. He has helped me slow down and gather my thoughts. So glad that I was assigned to James “Ryan” White as this was my first counseling experience. He made me feel comfortable and heard.

James "Ryan" White is a phenomenal therapist who is gifted in this field. I've seen multiple therapist and none have possessed such keen insight, wisdom, perceptivity and intuiton. More importantly, he knows how to apply it practically to help devise workable solutions that lead to major progress in short time frames, which can offer hope to those who felt their prospects of healing were hopeless. He is certainly one of a kind, highly gifted and making an impact on human-kind through healing!

He’s calming and listens well with great advice

James is so intelligent! He’s very kind and will pick up on your issues so quickly you will feel like he knows you better than you know yourself. He’s very supportive and willing to give plenty of advice.

Best counselor I have ever had. Thoughtful and responsive.

I have only had two sessions with James and I can not recommend him enough. He listen to me and I feel like he understands me and it doesn't feel like I'm a bother. He has been the best help I've had from a counselor.
