Jamie Haidinger, LICSW, LCSW

Jamie Haidinger is a licensed social worker who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and trauma and abuse. She presents as warm and nurturing and works at a gentle pace so people feel heard. Jamie uses a supportive, person-focused style to help people find practical next steps in their day-to-day lives.

Jamie brings 15 years of clinical experience in addition to earlier counseling and life-coaching work in medical and long-term care settings. She has a Master of Social Work degree from Boston University and a Certificate of Clinical Gerontology from Boston College, and holds LICSW and LCSW credentials. Her background includes time supporting people through medical crises, caregiving stress, end-of-life issues, and serious life transitions.

In sessions she listens closely, helps identify sources of pain, and partners with each person to build a practical plan. That plan might include simple behavior changes, communication practice, or short-term goals to reduce anxiety and improve mood. She aims to move at a pace that feels safe and manageable for each individual.

Jamie also works with people coping with chronic illness, caregiver strain, aging concerns, blended family challenges, and major life shifts like divorce or retirement. She integrates tools from several therapy approaches to suit what a person needs in the moment.

People who choose Jamie often want a steady, encouraging presence while they navigate hard changes. She prefers to help individuals take small, clear steps toward greater calm, better relationships, and more days with meaning and joy.

Approach-driven online care that fits your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small committed steps toward those values while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to reduce symptoms and build new habits. CBT often helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the person's lead and helps them find their own solutions; this is helpful when someone needs acceptance and steady encouragement.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jamie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, then recommend techniques to try. She treats the process as collaborative and adjusts methods based on how a person responds over time.

Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current session options before booking. In practice, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people join from wherever they are at the scheduled time. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions while helping people build workable habits, improve relationships, and manage stress and trauma-related symptoms.
