Jeremy Combs, LMSW, LISW-CP

Jeremy Combs is a licensed social worker practicing in South Carolina. He holds LMSW and LISW-CP credentials and brings 21 years of clinical experience to his work. He focuses on everyday problems like anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting stress. Jeremy aims to create a respectful, down-to-earth space where people can talk through hard things and find practical ways forward.

Before moving into civilian practice, he spent many years supporting people in high-stress settings. That background shaped his straightforward approach to common problems such as trauma, grief, anger, addiction, and career challenges. Jeremy also works with issues related to ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, panic, and seasonal mood changes.

His style is warm and interactive. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-focused, with attention to strengths and small steps toward change. He listens for what matters most and helps people set realistic, achievable goals.

Jeremy draws on several approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, and motivational interviewing. He adapts techniques to each person, mixing practical tools with supportive dialogue. This helps when addressing coping skills, emotional regulation, and communication problems.

People who want clear steps and a respectful, collaborative tone may find his approach helpful. He supports those navigating family-of-origin issues, adoption and foster care concerns, fatherhood questions, and the stresses that come with work and money challenges.

Practical approaches for online support

Jeremy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; this approach often helps with anxiety, panic, mood problems, and stress by focusing on concrete skill building. He also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and matching support to what each person says matters most. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help finding motivation for change, like addressing addictions, career shifts, or lifestyle goals.

Choosing the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. Jeremy works with each person to set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on progress and preferences. People shape the pace and focus of therapy together with the therapist.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins during a work break. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates and get support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep regular momentum toward goals.
