About me
Hello! My name is James and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I have over 20 years of experience as a therapist in both clinical and educational settings. I earned my Master’s degree in counseling from The University of North Texas in 1998. My specialties include working with individuals (adults/adolescents), families and couples with a wide range of clinical issues such anxiety, depression, anger and stress management, family conflict, parenting, relationship issues and adjusting to unexpected changes with everyday living. Couples counseling often focuses on trust, expectations, conflict resolution, prioritizing, family of origin issues and parent. May couples describe themselves drifting away from each other and not feeling like they are on the same team. Therapy is a chance to reconnect and get back on the same team.
I believe we all want happiness, contentment and a general sense of satisfaction with ourselves and in our relationships. But, sometimes, life’s challenges can throw us off track. Therapy is an opportunity to more thoroughly understand the obstacles that get in our way and discover new ways to cope with them. I believe it's not the stress in our lives but our reaction to it that leads to emotional disturbance. If we change the way we think it often changes the way we feel and behave. Many times clients describe themselves as feeling ‘stuck” or “overwhelmed”. Therapy offers an opportunity to “regroup” and discover ways to become “un-stuck” and confident you can deal with life's ups and downs. My job is to assist you in this process, By working in a relaxed, encouraging, supportive environment goals emerge which allows us to develop coping strategies and a plan of action.
A little about me - I have been married for 25 years and I have two college age kids. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, camping, playing the drums and watching too much Nexflix! (Note: I’m trying to cut back on the Netflix. Let me know if you know of a good therapist!).

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for James Caldwell. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
James listens and makes everyone involved feel comfortable. He knows how to break it down in a way that is not overwhelming and doable.
He’s been absolutely amazing and so helpful. He very comfortable to talk to and fair between my husband and I. It’s like he knows somehow our struggles before our session even begins
My wife and I really love how James truly listens and shows that he does care in helping our marriage. We honestly believe we have found the right therapist for us!
My fiancè and I are very happy with the progress we have made with James. He is extremely supportive and understanding of both of us. He has given us the avenues to communicate better and techniques to build our relationship in a more healthy way. We are happier than ever by using these strategies.
We’ve made great accomplishments through his work with us. He is very understanding, listens, and has great insight and firsthand knowledge in regard to issues we are working on. I would highly recommend him to others seeking counseling/couples therapy.
I am very appreciate for all that Mr. Caldwell has done and shown me. I’ve come a long way personally and our relationship had improvements. Thank you.
James is great
We have had several counselors over the years, but Mr Caldwell’s approach and insight as well as his soothing style of conveying important points has been more effective than any other to date. I used to dread counseling sessions, but now i look forward to them, as they used to make me feel emotionally beat up after a session. With Mr Caldwell’s approach, both of us leave the session feeling energized and positive.
He is a great listener and really understands and has helped me and my husband learn better ways to talk and listen to one another.
He is a very good listener and exactly know what is going wrong and focus there.
Very compassionate and patient. Highly recommended.
