James "Jim" Dailey

James “Jim” Dailey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Michigan with eight years of professional experience. He works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, traumatic brain injury, aging, chronic illness, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and grief and loss, and has supported clients from diverse backgrounds.

Jim approaches therapy in a supportive, judgment-free manner and provides a calm presence in sessions. Peers have noted his calming demeanor, and many clients have felt comfortable opening up about their life experiences. He offers a safe space to express feelings of stress, anxiety, or anger and uses reflective listening as clients work through those emotions.

Silence is welcomed during sessions when more time is needed to collect thoughts, and Jim aims to meet each person where they are in a given moment. His methods draw from evidence-informed approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, solutions-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and relaxation therapy. Clients have reported feeling more at ease after practicing relaxation exercises such as guided breathing and progressive muscle relaxation.

He holds a Michigan clinical social work license - a credential that reflects clinical training and state licensure (MI LMSW 6801095148) - and he adheres to the National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics. Jim takes client privacy seriously and welcomes questions about privacy or anything related to web-based therapy. He is open to inquiries and is excited about the possibility of working together.
