About James
James "Chad" Settle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky with eight years of clinical experience. He practices in Kentucky and focuses on common life pressures such as stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem struggles, and coping with life changes.
Chad draws on long experience in social work and community settings in Kentucky. He has worked with courts, schools, health and mental health organizations, and nonprofit groups in the region. That background informs a practical style aimed at everyday problems rather than abstract theory.
In sessions he helps people break down their current problems into small, manageable steps. He uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns that increase stress or make relationships harder. He then works with clients on skills and strategies they can practice between meetings.
Chad pays attention to family and caregiving strains, including adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, and caregiver stress. He also addresses aging and geriatric concerns, chronic illness and pain, attachment questions, body image, and related interpersonal difficulties.
People often come for help with communication problems, control and commitment worries, codependency, and adjusting after a major change. He also notes work with diagnoses such as Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD) and other co-morbid conditions when relevant. Sessions aim for clear, measurable steps clients can use in daily life.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help
Many of Chad's stated methods fall under evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skill-building and behavior change. One common technique works on identifying and changing patterns of thoughts and behaviors that increase anxiety and stress. That approach helps people practice new responses to familiar triggers and reduces immediate distress.Another technique emphasizes communication and problem-solving skills for family and caregiver roles. This approach teaches clear ways to set boundaries, improve conversations, and manage conflict in everyday situations. It is useful when parenting strain, blended family issues, or caregiver responsibilities make daily life harder.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Chad will talk with each client about goals, try approaches that fit the person's needs, and adjust based on what is helpful. He encourages clients to test out techniques between sessions and report back what works or does not.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since session formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online work can make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into a busy week. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to meet with a licensed professional from different locations. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire.
