Mr. James Salas has been amazing so far. I have had him as my therapist for about a month now and he has already helped me notice quite a few of my behavioral and thought patterns. As a biological female, I have really appreciated how he has always made me feel safe and comfortable during video sessions. I am excited for what more I can discover on this journey with him :)

James has been so helpful in my therapy sessions. He is very good at listening and asks all the right questions. I feel that all of our conversations are very engaging and not one sided. So happy to have found him and appreciate all his efforts to reach my goals.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Reviewed March 2024

I have been seeing James Salas for 1 month now and can confirm that James has experience in CBT, DBT, trauma and more. I have had many therapists and am picky. James has good insight the ability to ask the important questions, holding accountable, and can handle morbid humor. I don’t typically like video therapy I am more of an in person kind of individual though this experience has been great.
