About James
James Dinh is a clinical social worker who works from a client-centered and trauma-informed stance. They use clear, practical ways to help people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. James holds an LCSW in Texas and a LICSW in Washington and brings nine years of experience to sessions.
They focuses on gender, sexuality, and identity issues, including support for LGBT and gender dysphoria concerns. James also helps people facing relationship and intimacy questions, compassion fatigue, career strain, and mood disorders such as bipolar disorder.
Background and approach
Additional areas of attention include OCD, panic, post-traumatic stress, and experiences of prejudice or discrimination. James blends approaches rather than sticking to a single method. That can mean using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking, or EMDR when trauma processing is the right next step.
The approach adapts as a person’s needs change over time. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. James offers room to talk through feelings and memories, alongside concrete skills for handling panic, anger, or relationship conflicts.
He also supports people exploring non-traditional relationship structures, kink-related concerns, and cultural identity questions. Practical details are kept simple. Sessions are conducted in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling are used to connect people with the right fit.
Therapeutic approaches for online healing and growth
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers concrete exercises to reduce panic, intrusive thinking, and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is an approach some people choose for trauma work and processing distressing memories.Finding the right approach is a shared process. James will work together with each person to weigh goals, comfort level, and life demands. The plan can change over time as progress is made or new challenges arise, keeping the work practical and tailored to the individual.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for full conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text are good for brief check-ins, ongoing coping reminders, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
