Rebecca ​S​t​.​ ​J​a​m​e​s, CSW-PIP, LMSW

Rebecca St. James is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with four years of clinical experience in Michigan. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, grief, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, anger, and self-esteem difficulties. She also supports people dealing with life changes and related struggles.

Rebecca uses a client-centered way of working that focuses on what a person brings to the room. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness strategies. Sessions tend to be practical and skills-focused, with attention to thoughts, behaviors, and values.

In the first meetings she helps people set clear, short-term goals. Conversations cover what matters most to the client and which coping steps fit daily life. She keeps language straightforward and uses exercises people can try between sessions.

When anger or impulsivity are present, Rebecca looks at triggers and teaches strategies to reduce reactivity. For mood concerns such as bipolar disorder or depression she works on routines, mood monitoring, and problem-solving. Grief and trauma work includes pacing the process and building emotional regulation skills.

Rebecca emphasizes collaboration. She treats the person as the expert on their life and partners with them to test what works. The work is aimed at clearer thinking, steadier behavior, and better ways to handle difficult emotions.
