About
Dr. James English is a licensed clinical psychologist in Illinois with 30 years of experience in the counseling field. He provides therapy to individuals, couples, and families, and is licensed to practice psychology in Illinois under license number 071.005714.
His approach is collaborative and results-focused, creating a warm, accepting space where people learn to identify and express emotions and link those feelings to the thoughts that often accompany them. Together, he helps clients turn insight into practical changes in thinking and behavior that support growth and meaningful progress toward personal goals.
Drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy strategies, and Adlerian Life-Style analysis, Dr. English guides clients in understanding automatic thoughts, reactions, and emotional patterns. With greater awareness, many clients discover a wider range of choices and more effective responses in everyday situations.
