Dr. James has diverse experience that has provided her with a range of skills and an ability to flexibly approach each client’s unique circumstances.

“My approach to counseling is simple: Everyone faces challenges in life from time to time for which they may feel that they do not have all the tools to deal with alone. I see myself as a ‘coach’. I work with you to help you move from where you are now to where you want to be. I help you identify what you want and help you develop a plan to get there. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) because it is a research based, results oriented approach that produces results. I have found CBT techniques to be as effective for children and adolescents as they are for adults.”

In addition to clinical work Dr. James has extensive experience as a Clinical Supervisor and is affiliated with the following organizations: American Counselors Association, Healthcare Providers Service Organization, the Virginia Board of Health Professionals, Psychology Today and Northern Virginia LPC group.
