James Campbell

James Campbell, LICSW, helps people manage anger along with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship concerns. He brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions and focuses on clear steps people can try between meetings. He aims to make therapy understandable and useful from the first appointment.

He has a long career in social work. He earned a Master of Social Work and has about 10 years of documented experience as a licensed clinical social worker, plus many more years in related roles. His background includes supervisory and administrative work in child and family services and a program role in school mental health in the District of Columbia.

In sessions he uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. That mix lets him address immediate problems and longer-term patterns, including trauma and addiction. He works to identify small, doable changes that can reduce anger and improve daily functioning.

He also runs a fatherhood initiative called Boys to Men and Men to Gentleman and has presented workshops and conferences around the country. That outreach informs his work with clients who are managing parenting, communication problems, or life transitions.

People who meet with him can expect straightforward goals, measurable steps, and a focus on skills they can practice between sessions. Those interested in starting are encouraged to try the short matching process to find the right fit before scheduling.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It helps people spot patterns that fuel anger or anxiety and practice concrete techniques to change those patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be useful for managing intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try a few methods, and adjust the plan based on what is helping. That makes it easier to find techniques that fit your life and to move at a pace that feels manageable.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people continue work between in-person visits and practice skills in everyday settings. If you have questions about how sessions are scheduled or which formats are available, check the booking details or ask when you complete the matching questionnaire.
