James Green, LCSW

James Green is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Maine with 28 years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy challenges, depression, and the aftereffects of trauma and abuse. He also addresses related concerns such as communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, questions about life purpose, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and building self-love.

James emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach in which thoughts and feelings can be explored openly. He supports clients in identifying practical steps and developing coping skills to manage symptoms and improve relationships. Seeking change requires courage, and he focuses on empowering each person to move toward a more fulfilling and happier life. James uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to an individual’s needs and preferences, guiding clients as they set goals and work through difficult experiences with steady professional support.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapy

James offers evidence-based, practical methods designed to address both immediate symptoms and longer-term growth. One approach focuses on skill-building for stress and anxiety - teaching strategies to manage overwhelming emotions, reduce reactivity, and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on trauma-informed care that helps people process past harms, understand how those experiences affect current relationships and mood, and develop steps toward recovery. A third emphasis is relationship-focused work that improves communication, intimacy, and conflict resolution in partnerships.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. James works collaboratively with each person to identify what techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and new concerns arise.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from different locations within the therapist's service area, and access regular support when it is needed most.
