Jim Hart, LCSW

Jim Hart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Virginia. He offers in-person counseling in Salem, VA and telehealth for individuals and couples.

He’s worked as a therapist treating individuals and couples and as an Intensive Outpatient Program counselor since 2017.

Therapy with Jim involves collaboration to discover the truth about obstacles and developing a plan of action most likely to result in relief, healing, and coping.

He draws from his training in a variety of evidence-based  approaches and his personal journey in recovery from substance abuse to helping others chart their path to fulfilling lives.

Jim’s eclectic approach to therapy begins with a belief that each person is the expert regarding their issues. Many people experience symptoms so uncomfortable that their instinct is to avoid thinking or talking about them. He helps people find a way to face the things bothering them and ultimately find solutions. 

He holds undergraduate degrees in Human Services, Social Work, and Psychology and a master’s in Clinical Social Work from Radford University.

Although I have been in therapy for thirtysomething years-both in-person and online-where I have gleaned knowledge and insight, nothing knocked my socks off or helped me all that much. That changed when I met Jim in March 2020, after detoxing at Lewis Gale. He has been, by far, the best therapist I've seen. He actually engages me in conversation - he doesn't just sit, nod and take notes while I prattle on about anything and everything. He also refuses to "co-sign my nonsense" and will set my mind back on the right path when he sees me deviating. While he doesn't assign me homework per se, he's open to reviewing the work I give myself to do and offers effective feedback. He's seen me through addiction, anxiety , depression, OCD, and PTSD without judgment. I'm so happy he's in my corner and cannot recommend him enough.
