We All Need Help Sometimes

Life presents us with many challenges, and at times, those challenges can feel overwhelming. Many of us respond in ways that don’t align with what truly matters to us, which can leave us feeling unfulfilled. Whether these challenges stem from trauma, anxiety, depression, or other sources, they don’t have to stand in the way of living the life we desire.


In my work, I believe the therapeutic relationship is a powerful tool for healing. I also draw on evidence-based approaches to help my clients move forward. One of these is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which guides individuals in facing their challenges by fostering psychological flexibility and helping them live in alignment with their values. Additionally, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), both trauma-focused therapies that enable clients to process distressing memories without needing to talk through the painful details.

Practice Philosophy

Eleison is derived from the Greek word ἐλέησον (eléēson), meaning to have compassion, mercy, or kindness. At Eleison Counseling, we believe that everyone is in need of these qualities. By cultivating compassion, we create a climate for growth. Learning to show mercy to yourself can help restore your sense of who you are meant to be, while kindness—both to yourself and others—can help you blossom and build the relationships you value most. Rooted in Christian teachings, Eleison Counseling integrates faith into the change process. However, we welcome individuals of all backgrounds and beliefs. We all face difficult challenges, but by practicing compassion, mercy, and kindness, we can transform our lives and relationships.

Eleison Counseling: Meet Jim Overby

Jim Overby M.A. LPC

As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Greenville, SC, I offer compassionate, faith-informed counseling to guide you through life’s challenges, whether everyday struggles or complex issues. Originally from Southeastern Pennsylvania, I support regular people facing depression, anxiety, and life’s transitions, while specializing in severe trauma, military veterans, and first responders. Using evidence-based therapies like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), I help clients process painful memories gently and effectively. I also address substance use and avoidance behaviors, tailoring care to foster resilience and hope. With deep empathy for veterans and first responders facing burnout and secondary trauma, I promote emotional and spiritual well-being. For those seeking faith-based support, I weave Christian principles into a safe space to deepen healing. Research highlights the therapeutic relationship as key to success, so I prioritize trust and collaboration for lasting change. My passion is empowering you to overcome obstacles and live a life aligned with your purpose. With a warm, professional approach rooted in compassion and faith, I’m here to walk beside you. Contact me to start your journey toward healing, embracing your authentic self, and building a life you truly value.

Therapy

Depression & Anxiety

Feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, or fear? You’re not alone. As a dedicated therapist, I offer compassionate, evidence-based therapies to help you manage these challenges and rediscover a meaningful life. Together, we’ll build psychological flexibility, allowing you to accept difficult emotions without letting them define you. By aligning your actions with your core values, passions, and goals, we’ll break free from self-doubt and fear. While symptoms may linger, I’ll equip you with empowering tools to navigate them confidently, creating a life filled with purpose and joy. Let’s embark on this journey to silence your inner critic and reconnect with your true self. Reach out today to start living authentically and fully, in a way that reflects who you are and what matters most to you.

Spiritual Growth

At Eleison Counseling, I offer heartfelt therapy grounded in my Christian faith, inspired by Jesus’ teachings and the Bible’s wisdom. I create a welcoming space where healing and growth can unfold, trusting God’s ability to bring hope and change. I value the role of Christian community in supporting your journey but respect your unique path. My practice warmly embraces clients of all beliefs—you don’t need to share my faith to feel at home here. Sessions focus on your needs, with faith included only if you choose. With empathy and expertise, I’m here to walk alongside you toward a brighter future. Reach out to Eleison Counseling to start your journey in a caring, faith-guided environment.

Trauma & PTSD

Trauma can leave lasting emotional scars, impacting how you see yourself and the world. If you’re struggling with anxiety, fear, or hopelessness, know that healing is possible—and you don’t have to face it alone. In therapy, I provide a compassionate space to explore your story and begin the healing process. Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we’ll work together to reduce the impact of trauma and help you reconnect with your values, purpose, and strength. You are not defined by what happened to you—healing starts with one courageous step.

If you’re ready to begin, I invite you to contact me today to schedule a consultation. Let’s take that step together.

Relationships

Every relationship has its ups and downs. Whether you're preparing for marriage or have been together for years, it’s completely normal to experience moments of tension, disconnection, or misunderstanding. You’re not alone—and support is available. In couples therapy, we’ll create a safe, nonjudgmental space where both of you can feel heard and understood. We’ll explore what’s really going on beneath the surface—like communication patterns, unmet needs, or emotional wounds—and work together to build healthier ways of relating. Therapy isn’t about blame; it’s about rediscovering connection, deepening trust, and creating a relationship that feels strong, supportive, and fulfilling—for both of you.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
