As a professional psychotherapist, sometimes part of our self-care is attending therapy. I could tell from the outset that James is a consummate professional with ample experience. Simply put, he's just awesome — literally a "therapist's therapist." You can't do better than him.

Hello, just a quick introduction. I am a Board Certified Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience. I have worked in a military mental health outpatient clinic for over 19 years. I recently retired after 24 years of military service and would like to continue serving the community. I specialized in individual, couples, and family therapy working with adults, adolescents, and children to aid in the areas of anxiety, ADHD, concentration, communication, depression, domestic violence, panic attacks, parenting, and self-esteem. I have additional training in Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure Therapy to help address any trauma concerns. Thank you for taking the time to read this short introduction and I look forward to working with you.

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.

I feel very positive about the help i. have received James and I do well togerther
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.
An amazing therapist who genuinely worries about the well-being of his patients.
James is helping a lot with struggles in my life. Primarily dealing with feeling during my divorce.
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.
