James Honeycutt, M.S.W., D.Min.

Assistant Director for Training

What do I do at CAPS?

Greetings to all the vibrant students at Liberty University! I'm Dr. James Honeycutt, here to support your journey through individual, couples, and group therapy. I began mental health work in 2004 while completing a master’s degree in clinical social work and was licensed to practice independently by 2008. My educational background also includes a seminary doctorate in marriage and family therapy, as well as ongoing work toward a research doctorate in psychology. In my role as the Assistant Director for Training at CAPS, I dedicate myself to nurturing the next generation of mental health professionals, overseeing our graduate practicum/internship students and post-graduate residents.

What is it like to work with me?

In our sessions, expect a collaborative atmosphere where we work together towards your personal goals. My therapeutic approach is relational, focusing on your motivation for change and the application of our discussions in your daily life. Experience has shown that those willing to engage actively in therapy throughout the week see beneficial outcomes. I am licensed as both a marriage and family therapist and clinical social worker in the Commonwealth of Virginia; since 2009, I have also been certified as an addiction specialist (CAS) through the American Academy of Healthcare Providers. These credentials represent my ongoing commitment to professional development and delivering high-quality care to my clients.

What do I do outside of CAPS?

Beyond my work at CAPS, I have enjoyed teaching part-time as an Adjunct Professor for several universities. This role not only fuels my enthusiasm for education but also brings fresh perspectives and insights into my therapeutic practice. I look forward to being a part of your journey at Liberty University, fostering growth and resilience through meaningful therapeutic connections.
