Great to meet you!

Hello. My name is Deirdre James. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Texas. I love collaborating with clients to reach their therapeutic goals. I earned my Master's degree at Valdosta State University.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I work with client's helping them to identify thoughts and feelings that affect their behavior. I focus on goal-oriented questioning to assist clients in moving into a future-oriented direction. I teach distress tolerance skills and help clients live value-based life.

What you can expect from our first session

I create a welcoming environment where clients can expect to take away distress tolerance skills. They will have identified their values and learned new ways to process emotions.

Deirdre's style is

Empowering
Affirming
Solution-oriented
