If you are reading this-thank you for considering me.
I became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in 2017 after entering the therapy field as a Naval Drug and Alcohol Counselor in 2000.
I have worked with clients in a variety of settings over that timespan to include community mental health, private practice, group, family and individual venues.
I have worked with clients with many concerns including anger control, substance abuse and related issues, marital, parenting, depression/anxiety, and others.
My approach is primarily client centered, cognitive behavioral therapy. I believe that we all are able to reach reasonable and realistic goals when it comes to coping with the challenges that life presents.
I hope that you discover a supportive partner on your journey to your best self.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for James Pelzer. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
James is absolutely amazing. It’s my first experience with therapy, so I can’t compare him to others. I feel that he genuinely cares about me, even after just meeting recently. His experience has shown in each of our sessions, and the pace at which we are going couldn’t be any better

James is great at giving righteous wisdom that can be applied to your situation and help you see the pathway to getting back right. He's a good listener that helps you talk through your problems with a non-judgmental attitude and also gives tools to equip you to overcome some of your obstacles.

James is intuitive and responsive. He asks thought-provoking questions and keeps me focus on subject. My sessions are diverse and interactive based on my needs.
It seems I am making progress in my sessions.
