About James White

My name is James “Ryan” White. I am a licensed therapist in the state of Alabama. I have been a therapist for more than nine years. I have been licensed for almost 5 years. I specialize in dialectical behavioral therapy. Specifically, DBT informed therapy. What that means for my clients is real solutions to problems quickly using DBT skills. DBT skills allow you to better control and understand your emotions. These skills have worked wonders with my clients with depressive disorders, panic disorders, and PTSD. I specialize in personality disorders as well. Over the years I have worked with adults with mental disorders as well as substance abuse difficulties. I look forward to working with you and helping you to identify goals- so that you can look forward to life after whatever difficulties you’re having now . Remember whatever brings you here is just a chapter of your life it’s not the whole book. Let’s work together to rewrite your story so that you look forward to the days ahead.

“Ryan is very knowledgeable and has given me helpful coping tools I didn’t have before.”

“James listens well and provides thoughtful insight. It can be hard for self-conscious people to speak candidly, but he is approachable and disarming. I value his input and advice.”

“He’s very kind, knowledgeable, and easy to open up to. He has great intuition and picks up on things quickly, which makes the sessions feel really productive. I’ve gotten a lot of value from working with him.”

“He gets it! I love that James is honest but in a way that makes you listen, my fiance and I were very unsure about sessions, we didn’t want an hour of being upset and confused, James proved to us that his sessions are the complete opposite, we haven’t had a session yet that has left us uneasy, now we look forward to our sessions, our relationship has taken a turn, we have started to understand what the other is feeling and have actually started to communicate properly. It’s been a great experience”

“Ryan has been my therapist for abut 3 months now and I have been very happy with him. He is very intuitive and knows what I need and how I need it delivered. He is authentic and truly cares about his clients. Ryan is very honest and I feel like he provides a safe space for me to process my thoughts and feelings without judgement. I would definitely recommend Ryan aka James White as a therapist and Better Help overall for providing a safe environment with so many options and opportunities to heal learn and grow.”

“Great guy and gets it!”

“Great guy is very skilled at his trade <br /> Would recommend to anyone looking for someone who can be straight and supportive,me and the wife really appreciate James”

“Ryan has been a tremendous help. He is honest, down to earth and very knowledgeable about psychology and how to navigate things fairly, etc. He is tactful but doesn't sugarcoat things. Would recommend him to anyone!”

“James has been my therapist on and off for multiple years and he has been the only therapist who has genuinely been able to help me with my mental health struggles”

“James(Ryan), was absolutely amazing in helping my wife and I sort out some deep rooted issues and find ways for us to move past them. He was not only able to help us as Individuals, but as a couple, become stronger together. Most importantly, he helped us become better parents through his sessions.”

“Amazing therapist and a great listener. Would highly recommend!!”

“James is great. He really listens, understands, and makes you feel validated. I would highly recommend.”

“This therapist greately helped my relationship and mental health”

“James has been very helpful in my relationship. I knew from the beginning that my partner and I had baggage from previous relationships and James is helping us navigate that as well as address our strengths and weaknesses as a couple. I don't think we'd still be together today if it weren't for James.”

“He is exactly the type of person my husband and I can relate to one on one and as a couple. He is open and honest and doesn't hold back truths and it works.”
