More about me

Licensing: LCSW Years in Practice: 38 State: Pennsylvania

I am Jim Disantis and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW) who has been a psychotherapist for 35 years.

I have worked in settings from child development to geriatric. I also have experience with inpatient and outpatient

mental health, both non-profit and commercial as well as private practice.

I have supervised other therapists among additional professionals.

Life has taught me that non judgmental based therapy can be successful and I

am able and willing to help you deal with issues by using well established professional methods.

This includes interventions of cognitive behavioral and solution focused therapy. I also help those who are in recovery.

Your spiritual and religious beliefs are "safe" to bring to the table with me if you choose to do so in a "guilt free zone".

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

My therapy with Jim was a monumental experience in my life. Amazing what level headed advice can do for someone’s well being. When your life’s in turmoil it’s often difficult to see the most healthy path forward. That’s where Jim made a difference for me. He listened, he questioned, he challenged me. Everything I needed to start towards better mental health. His life experiences coupled with his education make him a top quality therapist. - Over my course of therapy I would be excited to speak with him weekly. Our conversations were a highlight for me. - If you’re looking for a wise therapist with well developed skills. Jim is your man.

Jim is Knowledgeable and caring. I was looking for male Christian therapist and Jim hits right on the mark.

Jim has been an invaluable help to me. He listens effectively and offers me a valuable objective view on what I discuss with him. I highly appreciate Jim and would recommend him to anyone looking for a counselor.

Friendly, soft spoken, and easy to talk to. Jim listens well and doesn’t judge

Jim is very thoughtful and sensitive to the needs of his clients, helping guide them with a careful hand towards positive approaches. He is very kind and easy to get along with. I highly recommend Jim as a therapist!

Passionate, patient, understanding and empathetic ! Very good person all around!

What can I say! Jim has been a life saver for me. Helps me so much with seeing the positive in my life. His support and compassion toward me.. I feel it.. it’s strong! Also he is very good with being non judgmental. I look forward to our sessions, gives me a nice break of my week and also provides me with so much good insight that it is definitely a good use of my me time!! Highly recommended :)

Jim has been a lot of help, listens to my problems and makes me feel like I'm being heard. Makes me feel comfortable and confident when expressing my situations.

Very friendly and understanding of the situations I talk about. Gives helpful advice and provides helpful worksheets with tips on how to work on your anxiety and overcoming overthinking habits.

Jim is a great listener and has good questions to make you think and grow.

He has been great so far but we have only had 2 sessions. However, I do feel that he actually tries to understand and get to the bottom of what’s bothering you and the root causes along with actually trying to understand who you are as a person and where you come from.

Jim is a good listener. I am only now learning how to best use my therapy. I should journal more often and need to ask for exercises/ worksheets more oftrn. You get out of it what you put into it.

Jim is a very understanding and patient counselor. He has been a tremendous help to me with dealing with the issues of life and Asperger's. I really value his help and would recommend him to anyone looking for a counselor.

Jim is a fantastic therapist. He's supportive, a great listener, kind and patient. He and I made great progress in only a few sessions, and I'm still making progress afterwards because of his guidance and advice. I highly recommend him as a therapist.

Jim is one of the most easiest people to interact with. Calm and relaxing is the tone he gives. Very interactive and a great listener. I’d recommend him for anybody.

Jim is a compassionate, empathetic and insightful therapist! Highly recommend him.

Listens well and jumps in if needed or I have a question or two. Keeps me on track if I lose focus and offers insightful comments.

Jim has been a wonderful listener and is helping me really dig deep to what’s going on. Allowing me to get my feelings out and responds with calming tone and questions to make me think and get my thoughts out.

Jim is a great listener and his feedback is greatly appreciated! I feel safe to share my thoughts and feelings during the session, to vent and air out my feelings and get my thoughts organized...

Jim was a extremely good listener and helped me talk through a lot of issues I was dealing with and allowed me to feel heard. He offered great advice and was a pleasure to work with.

Jim is an awesome listener. He gives me excellent advice, encourages me to work towards my goals and helps me look at situations in life more objectively.

Listened, respected and supported me. Accomplished a lot in a few sessions.

Jim has been a great help to me. He has been solid as a rock, when I share and I freak about this or that, he stays steady in the face of instability and I get a sense that he cares about me and sees the best in me, that helps me so much with my ongoing fight with depression.. highly recommended

Jim does a great job of listening to the concerns and issues. I would highly recommend!

I truly appreciate that since I feel like I cannot do that in my regular life. He is kind and compassionate. He is very knowledgable and his demeanor is very accepting and calming to me.

Jim is very practical and a great listener. I particularly enjoy his faith-based ways of re-centering the way I look at situations.

Jim is to the point and experienced. I appreciated his expertise

Very professional and compassionate

I highly recommend Jim Disantis. He is very patient and kind, and helped me work through what might have been the worst period of anxiety in my life. He taught me the use of a lot of Cognitive Behavioral Therapies, which helped me to deal with my anxiety on my own as I was changing my medicine and from now on.

Jim has been instrumental in helping me process and cope with the loss of a friend. I highly recommend working with Jim.

Jim is compassionate and understanding with my therapy needs.
