More about James
- 18 years' experience

- LICSW
My name is Jim Zaremba (he, him, his), and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over 16 years in practice. In those years, I have lived and practiced as a licensed clinician in Minneapolis MN, San Francisco CA and Gloucester MA. I have experience working with individuals, couples, families and children, with an age range of 5 to 104. I consider myself a people-oriented person and very much enjoy my work in counseling. My perspective is every single person can benefit from counseling in this ever-changing and oftentimes difficult and complicated world.
I have a broad assortment of techniques that I have found helpful, matching and adapting those that work best for each person and each situation. Therapies that I use and have been trained in include: Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strengths Based Therapy, Stress Reduction and others.
No two individuals are exactly the same. However, I believe we all have the answers in ourselves. I feel the therapist’s role is to help guide the individual to find the answers to resolve the issue. I see my work as being on a team with the client. We work together to identify the individual’s needs, explore issues, and practice strategies to move forward. When we are done, the individual has not only resolved the issue(s), they also have gained the tools to resolve other issues on their own.
Therapy is a resource that can help people learn, heal, and grow. I have a friendly, professional, and easy-going style. In counseling sessions, I provide an environment where the client feels safe, supported, and gently challenged. Please let me know if I can be of assistance to you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
