About James
LCSW, CSW in Georgia with 27 years of experience. James Stone helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, mood disorders and struggles with self-esteem and anger.
He works with adults who have substance and behavioral addictions alongside mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and depression. His practice addresses trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and the practical fallout from isolation, shame, guilt, and relationship betrayal. He lists additional focuses including aging and geriatric issues, fatherhood concerns, veteran and armed forces issues, and HIV/AIDS related matters.
James uses a mix of approaches to guide sessions. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people accept painful feelings while moving toward valued actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) appears in work on unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. He also uses Client-Centered methods, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, and mindfulness practices to develop coping tools.
Sessions emphasize practical steps and skills. James helps people practice emotion regulation, build motivation for change, and develop routines that reduce relapse risk or depressive inertia. He aims to help clients notice patterns, try concrete strategies, and review what works.
He offers services in English and practices in Georgia. Costs vary by location and are managed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the site’s online therapy options button.

How his approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing and accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking small action steps. It can help people who are stuck on avoidance or who want to commit to healthier routines despite strong emotions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and issues with self-critical thinking.
Client-Centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting so the person can lead the pace and focus of sessions. This approach supports people who need space to make sense of what they feel and decide on next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as skills are learned and circumstances shift.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten check-ins on days with limited time, or remove travel time.
