James Osborne , LPC, LCPC

James "Jimmy" Osborne is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who brings ten years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, and major life transitions. He combines a practical, evidence-based approach with a compassionate, nonjudgmental manner to help clients develop coping skills and build emotional resilience. He holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and carries professional counseling licenses - LPC and LCPC - which indicate formal licensure to practice as a counselor in multiple states.

Over the course of his career he has worked extensively with individuals facing substance use, trauma, and process addictions, and he has held both clinical and leadership roles within the Department of Veterans Affairs where he focused on veteran mental health. He has also taught psychology at the university level, an experience that informed his understanding of human development and behavior and reinforced his commitment to evidence-based care.

His therapeutic work blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with other proven techniques to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. James focuses on helping people gain insight, develop practical strategies for stress and addiction, and pursue meaningful change that fits their values and circumstances. He aims to support clients as they uncover strengths, manage symptoms, and work toward a more balanced life.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

James uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is practical and skill-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. He also applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which emphasizes accepting difficult emotions while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful action - a useful approach for managing avoidance, addiction, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and James works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions and adjusts strategies over time so the work aligns with the individual’s values and circumstances.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and life changes, and they allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support without requiring in-person visits.
