More about James
- 20 years' experience
- Male
- LISW
With more than 25 years of experience in the behavioral health field, I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor (LICDC) dedicated to helping individuals create meaningful and lasting change. Throughout my career, I have worked with both adults and children in a variety of settings, supporting clients through life’s challenges with compassion, respect, and practical strategies for growth.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. I work collaboratively with clients to help them understand patterns in their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building skills to manage stress, improve relationships, and navigate difficult experiences.
I have extensive experience working with individuals facing trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, and life transitions. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward healthier and more fulfilling lives.
I believe that change is possible for everyone, and therapy can be a powerful space for healing, self-discovery, and personal growth.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a 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.
