James Mann

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Texas with 10 years of post-licensure experience. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflict, major life transitions, grief, and family stress.

I am also a 10-year Navy veteran who served through multiple deployments. My military service and experiences abroad have given me a deep appreciation for people from different cultures, backgrounds, and life circumstances. I understand that reaching out for support can feel difficult, so I strive to create a welcoming environment where you feel respected, understood, and safe being yourself.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your individual needs. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship provides the foundation for meaningful and lasting change. Together, we will identify what is causing distress, clarify your goals, and develop practical strategies that support healing and personal growth.

I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. Depending on your needs, I may also incorporate solution-focused, trauma-informed, attachment-based, and family-systems approaches. In couples therapy, I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman-informed principles to improve communication, strengthen connection, and address patterns of conflict.

Our first session will be a comfortable, judgment-free conversation about what brought you to therapy and what you hope to improve. I will ask questions to better understand your concerns, important relationships, personal history, strengths, and previous experiences with therapy.

We will begin identifying your goals and discussing an approach that fits your needs. You will also have an opportunity to ask questions and decide whether you feel whether or not I am the right therapist for you. You do not need to arrive with everything figured out. We will work together, at a pace that feels manageable, to create a path toward greater healing, hope, and well-being.
