Susan Jamieson, LCSW

Susan Jamieson is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience helping people make meaningful changes in their lives. She emphasizes a practical, person-centered approach and meets people where they are. Her work focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

She helps people decide what changes they want and how to take the next steps. Sessions move at each person's pace. Susan offers clear guidance, tools, and steady support while centering the client's goals in every conversation.

Her background blends formal training with real-world experience. That mix informs how she uses several approaches in the room, choosing techniques that match each person’s needs and personality. She aims to make therapy understandable and useful for day-to-day life.

Common concerns she addresses include trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stress, anger, career challenges, and living with bipolar disorder. She also helps with family-related stress and the push-and-pull that comes with major life transitions.

Sessions emphasize skills and strategies that people can try between meetings. Susan encourages small, manageable steps and checks progress together. Her goal is to help people feel more capable and more in control of the choices they make.

People who prefer a calm, collaborative approach tend to fit well with her style. She invites questions and works with each person to shape therapy around their values and daily life. If a calendar opening isn’t visible, messaging preferred days and times may help find a workable slot.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter. It helps when someone feels stuck or overwhelmed by difficult thoughts and wants to move toward a life that feels meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood shifts, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy involves attention skills and present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity and improve emotional calm.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. Work is paced to the client's comfort, with choices made together about techniques and homework.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone try strategies in real-life settings between meetings and bring those experiences back to session for discussion and adjustment.
