Hi. My name is Reba James. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I received my Masters for Virginia Commonwealth University and have been practicing for 6+ years. I will provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, and build resilience. I will work collaboratively with you to help you discover your strengths, improve your dimensions of wellness, and achieve your goals.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session together, you can expect a relaxed and welcoming environment. The goal is to get to know you, understand your concerns, and explore what brings you to therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or life transitions, I am here to support and guide you on your journey to healing. I am a compassionate and experienced therapist who is dedicated to supporting you in navigating life’s challenges. I will approach therapy with a variety of techniques and strategies to best meet your needs.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I have over 20+ years of experience helping clients with stress and anxiety, anger management, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and depression. I have worked and interned in a variety of clinical settings such as group homes, residential treatment facilities, crisis centers, detention centers, juvenile drug court, and outpatient practices. My clinical experiences include working with children, adolescents, and adults from a variety of ethnic, racial, socioeconomic status, gender, sexual orientation, religion, geographical areas, and academic/professional background. I have also worked with an array of mental illnesses and have served those with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a type of therapy that helps us understand the connection between our feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. The idea is that the way we think about situations affects how we feel emotionally and what actions we take in response. While CBT has certain techniques, we will tailor them to your specific needs.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-Based Therapy helps you focus on being present in the moment without getting caught up in judgments, worries about the future, or regrets about the past. It is about learning to observe your thoughts and feelings without immediately reacting to them. The more you practice, the easier it becomes to stay grounded, calm, and balanced, even in difficult situations. The goal is for you to build a ‘toolbox’ of strategies that will help you navigate life’s ups and downs with more ease and acceptance.
