Dr. James Geidner

Dr. James Geidner brings over 20 years of clinical experience to his work. He helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, parenting stress, addiction concerns, grief, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with bipolar mood patterns, sleep problems, anger, career stress, and life changes.

He works in a clear, straightforward way. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings. He listens for what matters most to each person and adapts methods to fit that need. His style balances problem-solving with attention to emotional patterns.

Dr. Geidner has practiced in psychiatric rehabilitation settings, child treatment centers, universities, and private practice. He has served as a clinical supervisor at several hospitals and academic programs. That background informs how he organizes treatment and trains others.

He uses approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, and Jungian ideas. These tools are chosen to match a person’s goals rather than to follow a fixed protocol.

Dr. Geidner holds LCPC and LPC credentials and is based in Michigan. He works with people from many backgrounds and accepts international clients. To begin, people are asked to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a session according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence current reactions; online work can use conversations and reflective exercises to identify those patterns and try new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience, encouraging active listening and guided reflection so clients shape the pace and topics of sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which often translates into clear tasks and homework that can be reviewed in remote sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That collaborative process lets the plan change over time based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they fit into a weekday break, avoid travel, and make it easier to keep consistent appointments. Online meetings also allow for sharing worksheets or exercises during the session and for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt the approaches above to the realities of remote work so therapy can fit into everyday life.
