Susan Jamieson

Susan Jamieson is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience who wants to help people make meaningful changes. She emphasizes practical steps and steady support so clients can begin feeling better and stay on track. Her approach centers on each person’s goals and pace, with guidance offered rather than pushed.

She combines several therapeutic methods to match individual needs and personality. Susan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered techniques, and mindfulness practices when appropriate. These tools are chosen to help with stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions among other concerns.

Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps. Clients work on recognizing unhelpful patterns, practicing new skills, and setting realistic goals. The therapist provides direction and encourages self-reflection, while leaving the timing of change up to the client.

Her background includes both professional training and life experience that inform her practical style. She aims to make sessions feel productive and respectful, with attention to what matters most to the person in the room.

People seeking help for relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, trauma, bipolar concerns, career pressure, or self-esteem issues will find a collaborative, down-to-earth approach. Prospective clients are asked to check current scheduling options before booking so they can pick a format that fits their routine.

How Susan’s approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then act on what matters most. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and finding direction during life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and mood management.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and awareness strategies to reduce reactivity and build emotional balance. These practices can support coping with distress, grief, trauma responses, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made so methods can be adjusted over time.

For practical matters, please confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during the workday, or avoiding the need to be on camera when people prefer audio only. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and frequency to match routine and goals.
