James Stone, LCSW, CSW

James Stone is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with 27 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and grief, and anger. He also addresses self-esteem and compassion fatigue alongside mood disorders and bipolar-related struggles.

James uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people manage strong emotions and repeated patterns. Sessions focus on practical skills people can use day to day, like noticing triggers, changing unhelpful thoughts, and building small behavioral changes. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core tools.

His style centers on respectful listening and client-centered work. That means attention to what each person says matters most, and therapy follows the issues the person brings. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are brought in when someone needs emotion-regulation and stress-tolerance practices.

James has long experience helping people with addiction and trauma-related problems. He helps people talk through guilt, shame, and relationship strain without judgment. He also supports those facing challenges tied to abandonment, infidelity, fatherhood, aging, and isolation.

People who come because anger is a problem can expect clear steps to reduce reactivity and rebuild trust in relationships. Practical homework, skill practice between sessions, and regular review of progress are typical parts of his approach. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
