About James
James Campbell is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with ten years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression among other issues. He also works with people dealing with addictions, intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
His approach is practical and structured. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused work. Sessions emphasize noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. James prefers clear goals and short exercises people can try between meetings.
James draws on a long career in social work and program administration in the District of Columbia. He has experience running clinic programs and delivering workshops, including fatherhood initiatives presented nationally. That background shapes a straightforward style that highlights skills and problem-solving rather than lengthy reflection.
In sessions he helps people develop specific strategies for managing symptoms, improving communication, and handling relationship or workplace stress. He will suggest practical steps, simple mindfulness practices, and ways to break down big problems into manageable tasks.

How his approaches look in online sessions
James often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new reactions through small, practical experiments. It is useful for anxiety, depression, obsessive thinking, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress and trauma symptoms.He treats choosing an approach as a collaborative step. The therapist will review your concerns and goals, try a method for a few sessions, and adjust based on what works. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to continue CBT techniques, add mindfulness practices, or use motivational or solution-focused tools for specific goals.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy life. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins when time is limited, while video sessions allow face-to-face discussion and screen sharing for worksheets and exercises. The focus is practical: fitting tools and short homework into everyday routines so changes are possible between meetings.
