About James

James Malone, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida, has 13 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, mood concerns, relationship and family issues, trauma and grief. He describes his approach as client-centered and eclectic, drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and mindfulness methods, and existential ideas when helpful.

He helps people address substance use and dual diagnosis, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, post-traumatic stress, and a range of mood and stress-related problems. He also focuses on relationship patterns, intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, and problems tied to family of origin. He lists additional areas such as abandonment, attachment and codependency issues, impulsivity, and fatherhood concerns.

His clinical practice emphasizes practical skills and clearer thinking. Sessions can include behavior-focused tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and present-moment strategies from mindfulness and acceptance-based work. He also uses client-centered principles to listen and respond to each person’s concerns.

Malone trained in counseling and psychology at Troy University where he completed his master’s degree in 2016. He has worked in various settings since 2012, treating people with a wide range of challenges related to mental health and substance use.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values and taking committed action. It helps with anxiety, depression, and life changes by encouraging practical steps toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thinking patterns and behaviors that maintain distress. It uses structured exercises and behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms like anxiety and mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or combine methods based on symptoms, goals, and preferences. This shared process helps shape session activities and homework in a way that fits each person’s needs.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce commute time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when helpful. They can also allow someone to use audio-only options if video is difficult or a quick phone-style session fits better into a work break. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and behavioral assignments for remote delivery to keep therapy practical and actionable.
