About Jamie
Jamie’s background includes work in acute medical hospitals, nursing homes, and community rehab centers. That experience shaped her approach to stress, chronic illness, caregiver strain, and end-of-life concerns. She holds a Master of Social Work degree from Boston University and a Certificate of Clinical Gerontology from Boston College, and practices as a LICSW and LCSW.
In sessions Jamie combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, motivational interviewing, and client-centered methods. She focuses on what matters to each person and helps them choose small, doable steps toward change. Conversations are collaborative and paced to match readiness.
Jamie often helps people facing depression, grief, relationship difficulties, substance concerns, and parenting strains. She also supports those coping with chronic pain, cancer, blended family stress, and major life transitions like retirement or divorce. Her work includes practical problem solving alongside emotional support.
Her counseling emphasizes respect for each person’s limits and timing. Together with clients she identifies sources of pain, sets realistic goals, and develops plans for better daily functioning and more ease in relationships. The aim is calmer days and clearer choices.
How Jamie’s approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are hard. It can help with anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills for mood and anxiety management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotions in close relationships and helps people identify and express needs more clearly.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jamie starts by listening to what matters to the client and what goals they want. Then she suggests methods that fit those goals and the client’s pace, and adjusts plans as progress continues.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many clients find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy days, shortening travel time, or keeping routine during medical appointments or caregiving demands. Online work can make it easier to schedule a focused check-in during a lunch break, reduce time away from home responsibilities, and maintain continuity when life is changing.
