James Panozzo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of counseling experience, bringing an additional perspective shaped by more than 30 years in manufacturing companies in logistics, finance, and quality control. His background helps him understand the pressures that can come with workplace demands, career decisions, and major life transitions, and he supports clients as they work through concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and coping with change.
In his work with clients, James strives to foster an open and welcoming space where people can share thoughts and feelings without judgment. He views therapy as a practical and meaningful step toward gaining insight, strengthening self-understanding, and moving toward something new in life.
James also holds a Michigan CAADC certification, which reflects specialized training as a certified alcohol and drug counselor. He values the 12 steps and the principles behind them, and may incorporate those ideas when appropriate to support healing and restoration from addictive behaviors, as well as when working through anxiety, depression, work stress, and disappointment.
James is able to work with clients who have insurance.
James Panozzo uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an approach that helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and daily habits, then practice more balanced ways of responding. CBT can be especially useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, work stress, and confidence issues because it focuses on practical skills that can be applied between sessions.
When relevant, his alcohol and drug counseling background also allows room to draw from 12-step principles. For some clients, this can provide a clear framework for making changes, strengthening follow-through, and reconnecting with values while working through addictive behaviors or the disappointments that often accompany major life stressors.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. James works collaboratively with clients to understand what they want from therapy, what has or has not helped before, and what feels realistic for their day-to-day life, then adjusts the focus to match their goals and preferences.
Online therapy also makes it easier to stay consistent. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone sessions, and support can continue through live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, changing routines, and different communication styles.
