Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

James North is an excellent listener he is very well-educated with a broad expense of knowledge and life experience as well as a man of deep religious faith
Excellent therapist who has a very realistic attitude and has responded and assisted me in a practical way
James is the kindest human being I have ever met. He listens so well, he gives advice that can easily be incorporated into your life and he is always there when you need him. The progress I have made since working with him is tremendous. Can definitely recommend James.
James is such a sweet person, he really listens to what you are saying and you can really feel how much he wants to help you
James is a good listener and knows how to give practical tips and steps that are tailored to the session content. I really appreciate the fact that he incorporates faith into our conversations as this is a large part of my life. All in all he’s a great therapist and I would definitely recommend.
James is an incredible listener - he remembers details that I don't even remember saying. I don't feel safe with many people, but I trust James, and I really appreciate his work.
James is a truly empathetic and considerate professional. He has listened and guided me every step of the way, giving me some great tools to help me in my healing journey.
James is a phenomenal therapist. He has helped me define and work through so much pain in just a few weeks and I look forward to an ongoing journey of healing with him. I've spoken to quite a few therapists/counselors/psychiatrists over the years and I'm so grateful that I can finally say I've stopped searching.
James is very approachable and has a friendly demeanor. He appears non-judgmental and speaks frankly about what needs to be addressed. I fell comfortable talking to him.
I sincerely appreciate James' professional and personal approach. He helps me a lot, I have learned to trust people during our meetings.
James is the best! He exudes trustworthiness. I genuinely feel able to share all my thoughts and secrets with him and he won't judge me for it, which is tremendously helpful in opening up. James constantly provides ideas on how to structure my thoughts and how to tackle problems. Little things that are easily incorporated into my daily life, yet make a mountain of a difference. He also listens incredibly well and pays attention to things I randomly say, but discovers the bigger meaning and issue behind them, which I then go "ah yeah, I really do think that". And then finding ways to resolve them. He also never pushes for topics, we discuss what feels good to discuss today and take it step by step. Since talking with James, I have made leaps in my progress and am doing so much better and for the first time in many many years I am seeing a light at the end of the tunnel and I believe with James' help I can reach it. You are very lucky if you get paired with him as a therapist!
Had such a positive and reassuring experience so far!

James is a very good listener. It's easy to open up to him because he really never judges in a negative way. When appropriate he gives practical tips and helpful insights.
