About Mamie

Mamie Routhier is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with nearly three decades of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, parenting struggles, and a wide range of life changes. Her manner is direct, pragmatic, and compassionate, aimed at helping clients move past difficult moments and toward practical solutions.

She has long experience supporting parents of foster and adoptive children and helping when children have autism or behavioral challenges. She has worked with adults and young people who have faced sexual abuse, domestic violence, and severe trauma. Mamie also supports those coping with poverty, grief, and chronic emotional strain.

Mamie describes her approach as mostly humanistic, with practical elements from cognitive and behavioral ideas when helpful. That means sessions often focus on the client’s goals, their strengths, and steps they can take between meetings. She tends to be interactive and straightforward while remaining sensitive to each person’s needs.

Therapy sessions typically include talking through current problems, sorting priorities, and practicing small, doable strategies that reduce stress and improve daily functioning. She also helps people address relationship patterns, self-esteem, and work or school challenges. Her long experience means she can draw on many ways to help when problems are complex.

People who reach out can expect a therapist who listens and then offers clear, practical guidance. Mamie aims to support people through both small bumps and major life transitions, working with them at a pace that fits their situation.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client’s needs and perspective. The therapist focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people identify their goals and strengths. This approach is useful for concerns like low self-esteem, life changes, and relationship patterns.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that move a person toward their goals. Sessions often focus on what’s already working and on building doable changes. This can help with stress, anxiety, anger, and day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest ways of working together. That choice can change as needs change, and the client and therapist decide together what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, save travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce barriers to meeting regularly. Many people find it convenient for continuing care, addressing trauma reactions, or practicing coping skills in everyday life.
