Jeremy Combs

Jeremy Combs is a licensed clinical social worker with long-standing practice experience. He holds the Licensed Master Social Worker credential (LMSW) and the Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice credential (LISW-CP). He brings two decades of work in therapeutic settings and presents a calm, approachable manner to conversations about change.

Combs centers sessions on respect and sensitivity. He avoids stigmatizing labels and keeps discussions focused on strengths. He aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person's specific situation, using straightforward guidance rather than jargon.

Over 21 years in practice has exposed him to a wide range of concerns. He helps people facing depression, anxiety, anger, grief, addictions, and trauma and abuse. He also supports those dealing with parenting stresses, relationship and intimacy-related issues, career problems, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and life transitions.

His work draws on client-centered methods and structured approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. Sessions emphasize practical steps, problem solving, and clearer communication rather than abstract theory. Clients can expect a collaborative tone and concrete suggestions they can try between meetings.

People often come for help with family of origin issues, fatherhood challenges, isolation or loneliness, and financial stress. He also addresses concerns related to adoption and foster care, domestic violence, panic and seasonal mood shifts. The aim is to support change through steady, respectful collaboration.

How client-centered and goal-focused approaches translate online

Client-centered therapy puts the person's experience first, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help the person find their own solutions. This method is useful when someone needs empathetic support and space to clarify what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It often helps with anxiety, depression, panic, mood shifts, and difficult behavior patterns by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-directed way of talking that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It can be helpful when someone is unsure about making shifts around habits, substance use, parenting choices, or career moves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process can change over time as needs and priorities shift.

Session logistics should fit everyday life. Confirm current session formats before booking since the profile does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or family demands, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full session isn't needed. Different methods support different tasks - CBT for skill practice, client-centered work for sorting values, and motivational interviewing for strengthening commitment to change.
