About James
James Campbell is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) with a decade of experience in mental health practice.
Background and approach
He draws on a long career in public and community settings to help people navigate concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and a wide range of other emotional and behavioral challenges. His background includes leadership and direct-service roles that inform a practical, strengths-based approach to care.
He blends evidence-informed methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused work to tailor interventions to individual needs. James emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and skill building so clients can apply new coping strategies in daily life and work toward measurable change.
Based in the District of Columbia, he conducts sessions using several online formats and brings experience from child and family services, school mental health, and clinic administration to his therapeutic work.
Approaches for online work and practical support
James uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, providing structured tools for issues like anxiety, depression, obsessions, and compulsions. He also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to build present-moment awareness and stress management skills, which can support coping with trauma, grief, and ongoing emotional distress. Motivational Interviewing appears in his work as a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and strengthen commitment to change, useful for addictions, career shifts, and other goal-related challenges.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. He will work with clients to clarify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what produces the best fit for a person’s needs, values, and preferences rather than offering a one-size-fits-all method.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with varying schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from the District of Columbia and to continue work during life transitions, while allowing clinicians to use CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and motivational strategies in formats that suit each client.
