Hear from our clinicians

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement online therapy?

James Fox
James Fox

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

I suggest group therapy or a self-help group. Clients can also read written material related to the issues they are dealing with either in books or online.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in grief & loss counseling?

James Fox
James Fox

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

I know a client is making progress in therapy when they are actively engaged and sharing their thoughts and feelings about the subject matter. I can also tell when the session is over and it feels like we just started, as that means we are both actively engaged in the subject matter of the meeting.

What should someone do to prepare for starting anxiety therapy?

James Fox
James Fox

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

To prepare for the first session, you can take a personal inventory of what you want to accomplish in therapy and write it down so you remember what you want to say.

What tools do you teach in depression counseling?

James Fox
James Fox

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

I teach the following tools: gaining insight into the issues clients are facing, problem-solving skills, coping skills, breathing techniques, communication skills, self-awareness, expressing themselves through effective communication, stress reduction, and meditation.

What is your go-to approach for cognitive behavioral therapy?

James Fox
James Fox

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

My goal in CBT is to get the client to recognize their individual strengths and weaknesses and identify what issues they wish to work on to make their lives better.
