James Urbany is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people build self-compassion and stronger coping skills.

His manner is direct and empathetic, aiming to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters most to them.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Many evidence-based techniques focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building new behavioral habits. Cognitive-style approaches look at patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or low self-esteem and teach practical ways to test and shift those thoughts. Behavioral approaches encourage small, structured experiments and skill practice to reduce avoidance and increase confidence.
Trauma-informed and emotion-focused methods help people name hard feelings, understand how past events shape reactions, and develop kinder ways to respond to themselves. These approaches are useful for issues like post-traumatic stress, shame, and relationship stress because they combine emotional processing with concrete coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on high-stress days. Talk with the therapist when you set up your first appointment about what will work best for scheduling and session length.
