James Palazzolo, LCSW

James Palazzolo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and depression. He frames therapy as a collaborative process in which meaningful and memorable conversations create space for honest reflection and practical change. James emphasizes an interactive style and often works in a short-term format, commonly guiding clients through seven to fifteen sessions to address specific goals.

His therapeutic approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a method that focuses on shifting unhelpful thinking patterns so that behavior and outcomes can follow. He believes a person’s motivation and resilience are central to growth, and that the therapist’s role is to help identify effective strategies and new perspectives for healing. James views life as ongoing work and encourages clients to adopt positive, rational viewpoints to make that work more rewarding.

Over his career he has most often supported people dealing with grief and loss, intimacy and relationship concerns, LGBTQI+ related issues, addictions, and the challenges of aging. He also focuses on a wide range of other concerns including communication problems, control issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, men’s issues, financial stress, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and social anxiety. James provides therapy in English and holds the credential LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
