She brings a calm, down-to-earth manner and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Jamie emphasizes listening first and matching pace to each persons readiness.

Jamie has 15 years of clinical experience as a LICSW and LCSW and many more years of related counseling and coaching in hospitals, nursing homes, and rehab settings.

Those experiences inform how she supports people coping with illness, aging, caregiving stress, and end-of-life matters.

Her style is warm and client-centered. Sessions involve talking through what matters most, identifying patterns that cause pain, and practicing small changes that add up. Jamie often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people shift unhelpful thinking and take values-based action.

She also uses emotionally focused and motivational techniques when people need help with communication, commitment concerns, or rebuilding trust after loss or trauma. Practical problem solving and short-term coaching are available for career stress, parenting strain, and burnout.

Jamie works from New Hampshire and meets people where they are emotionally. She supports people navigating blended family issues, divorce, chronic pain or illness, addiction concerns, and caregiving challenges. Her approach is collaborative, steady, and focused on realistic steps toward greater calm and meaning.

How Jamie uses common approaches in online sessions

Jamie frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments that reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which can help with stress, depression, and coping with life changes.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and taking action that matches personal values. ACT can be useful for people struggling with chronic pain, grief, or repeated avoidance. Jamie blends these approaches with a client-centered stance that keeps the persons priorities central.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, preferences, and daily realities, then suggest approaches to try together. Sessions can adapt over time as needs change, mixing CBT, ACT, emotionally focused techniques, and motivational interviewing as appropriate.

Online therapy with Jamie is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer discussions and exercises, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving schedules, or ongoing medical appointments.
