About James
James "Chad" Settle is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Kentucky with eight years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. He speaks English and works from his background in Kentucky social work systems.
He grew up in Kentucky and has long experience working with local courts, school systems, and social service agencies. That background shapes how he approaches practical problems like caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, and attachment issues. He uses straightforward conversation to identify what is causing day-to-day strain.
Sessions are focused on skills and problem solving. He helps people recognize patterns of control, codependency, and communication problems. He also supports people managing chronic pain or illness and those facing aging and geriatric concerns.
When anger or disruptive mood symptoms come up, he concentrates on what happens before and after heated moments. He works on concrete steps to reduce escalation, manage resentment, and improve responses at work or home. He also addresses co-occurring issues like depression, self-esteem struggles, and commitment or relationship stress.
People can expect direct, practical work rather than abstract theory. He draws on his time with schools, courts, and care systems to connect everyday challenges with clear steps. To begin, readers are asked to use the online intake flow and schedule a first session through the platform.
