About James

He has practiced in Minneapolis, MN, San Francisco, CA, and Gloucester, MA, and brings a people-oriented, approachable style to work with individuals, couples, families, and children across a wide age range from five to 104.

He draws on a broad toolkit of therapeutic methods, including psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), strengths-based techniques, and stress reduction strategies, tailoring interventions to each person and situation. James views therapy as a collaborative effort - he partners with clients to clarify needs, explore underlying issues, and practice practical strategies that promote movement and growth.

Clients work with James to build lasting skills as well as to resolve immediate concerns. His practice pays attention to relationship challenges, grief and loss, parenting, identity and LGBT-related issues, addiction, anxiety and depression, and other life transitions. Known for a friendly, professional, and easy-going manner, he offers supportive guidance while also providing thoughtful challenge to help people develop greater coping capacity and self-understanding.

As a LICSW - a credential that denotes advanced training and authorization to provide independent clinical social work - James emphasizes strengths, resilience, and collaboration as central elements of effective care.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding each person from their own perspective and creating a collaborative, nonjudgmental space to explore concerns. It helps with relationship issues, life transitions, and building self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills to shift those patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with addictions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and attachment experiences within relationships, helping partners or family members recognize and respond to emotional needs more effectively and repair connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. James collaborates with each person to assess needs, discuss goals, and try techniques that fit the client’s preferences and circumstances, adjusting strategies over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow licensed professionals to provide continuity of care and adapt to how a person prefers to engage. For many, remote sessions make it easier to attend regularly, apply skills between sessions, and integrate therapy into daily life.
