More about James
- 22 years' experience

- LMHC
I have a master's degree from the University of Central Florida, in the field of Counselor Education. I have been licensed as a Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida since 2001. I have worked a combination of private practice, agency work as well as with the public school system. I am married, I have three children and one grandson. My foundation is that of a Person Centered Counselor, and important aspects of this include the use of empathy, unconditional positive regard and warmth. I also rely heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I apply a lot of reason in the counseling process and I believe that a good therapist doesn't work any harder than the clients that they are trying to help. I am a trained hypnotherapist and I find that this can be very helpful in working with individuals who have a past trauma that they continue to struggle with. I find that a career as a counselor is a very fulfilling occupation and I truly enjoy helping individual's find a healthier path with their life.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Excellent therapist who listens well, provides encouragement and guidance
Great guy!
In James Beller you will find a caring and easy to talk with therapist. He is a great listener with a way of helping you talk through what is happening in your life. If you are a Christian, he understands that you have a different perspective on life and respects that view. where you are a Christian or not, I would recommend you give him a try.
He is genuine, super helpful, listens and understands. He encourages and motivates and will lift your spirit through times of struggle and uncertainty.. highly recommend.
It’s been comforting to find a safe space to just…talk. James has given me an outlet I didn’t quite realize I needed. Highly recommend—he’s wicked smart and incredibly insightful.
James is a fantastic therapist. I had the pleasure of having two sessions with him, and both were the best I've had in years. He was professional, on-time, confident, and listened to me patiently. He is straightforward, no-nonsense, and knows exactly what he is doing. He helped outline a treatment plan for me and answered every question and thought I had without judgment. I loved each session and would highly recommend him to anyone.
Great therapist! Dr. Beller is really helping me work though many issues, past and present.
He explains things very well, makes techniques and issues easy to understand.
James is an amazing therapist, a great listener he helps you connect with your emotions and it feels great being able to share them out loud.
James is an excellent listener who takes good notes and summarizes what the client shares. He has great empathy and is encouraging. He offers good advice and wisdom. He is respectful of a clients background and spiritual beliefs. He is easy to talk to. I have sensed an improvement in my mental health in 2 months of weekly therapy and plan to continue with James.
James is a calming therapist. You are quickly made aware that he listens well, because he asks questions that assure you he is engaged with the topics you discuss. He’s shown flexibility regarding his approach, in order to match what I needed. If you are open to his simple suggestions, you will find they can be thought-provoking, even if the ideas might have occurred to you before. He does not shed any negativity on things or people you discuss and offers constructive ways of moving past difficulties in your life.
Only had two sessions but so far I’m very happy with him.
