About James
Dr. James Geidner helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship and parenting challenges. He also supports people dealing with addiction, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, and coping with life changes including natural or human-caused disaster. He is introduced as Dr. James Geidner and brings two decades of clinical experience to his work.
He has worked in psychiatric rehabilitation, child treatment centers, universities, and private practice. That mix gives him experience with many therapeutic approaches and real-world settings. He has served as a clinical supervisor at hospitals and universities, which shaped how he organizes care and mentors others.
In sessions he focuses on finding the approach that fits each person.

He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy and Jungian perspectives when they suit a client's goals.
Dr. Geidner aims for straightforward, practical work. He helps people set clear goals, try small changes, and track progress over time. He explains options and adjusts the plan if something does not help.
He holds the LCPC and LPC credentials and brings about 20 years of practice experience. He works from Michigan and provides services in English, and he accepts international clients.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people understand patterns with close others and build steadier connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It’s often used to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose or combine methods and adjust the plan as progress is tracked. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during a workday break or evening. It can also make shorter check-ins easier to schedule and reduce the need for a long commute. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and attachment-focused work to remote sessions, using structured exercises, homework, and regular reviews to keep progress visible.Areas of expertise
