About Jeremy

Jeremy Combs is a licensed clinical social worker with a long career in the field. He holds the Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) credentials and practices from South Carolina. He brings 21 years of professional experience to his work.

His style is warm and interactive. He focuses on respect, sensitivity, and compassionate support rather than labels. Sessions are tailored to the person in front of him, with conversation and plans adjusted to meet specific needs.

Background and approach

Jeremy helps people facing many common life challenges. He addresses relationship strain, parenting concerns, stress and anxiety, depression, grief, and issues related to trauma or abuse. He also works with mood disorders, addictions, ADHD, and career or purpose questions.

He uses practical, evidence-informed methods in session. Techniques drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused approaches guide conversations and goal work. The aim is to build useful skills and clear next steps that feel manageable.

People who choose him can expect direct, respectful conversation and a focus on real-life change. Jeremy emphasizes collaboration and helps clients identify small, achievable goals. He supports people through coping with life changes and improving communication and problem-solving skills.

Practical approaches for online family and life concerns

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s goals and values at the center of each session. It means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, which helps with parenting decisions, relationship concerns, and coping with stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It is useful for anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and building concrete skills to change habits and reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeremy collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time so sessions remain focused and practical rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can fit into busy days and live chat or text messaging provide shorter, on-the-go check-ins and follow-up support. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while juggling family, work, and other responsibilities.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
