Susan Jamieson, LCSW

Susan Jamieson is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience helping people make meaningful changes. She focuses on practical steps people can use to feel better. Her approach centers on the person in front of her and moves at the client’s pace.

Susan offers straightforward guidance and coaching to help people decide what they want to change. She draws on a range of therapy methods and tailors them to each person’s needs and personality. Sessions aim to build skills for managing stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and relationship struggles.

People come to her for help with life transitions, grief, parenting strain, career stress, anger, and self-esteem. Trauma and abuse are also listed among her areas of focus, and she addresses those concerns with attention to the individual’s readiness and goals. She works collaboratively so clients keep control over the pace and direction of their work.

Susan often combines acceptance-based strategies, cognitive techniques, mindfulness, and skills-focused practices. She provides clear explanations and practical tools to try between sessions. Her style is supportive and goal-oriented, aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.

To get started clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on availability. If a preferred time does not appear on the calendar, she suggests messaging her with preferred days and times so she can try to accommodate scheduling needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Susan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify values and take small steps toward a meaningful life even when hard feelings remain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, explain options, and try methods that fit the person's style. If something does not fit, adjustments are made together so the work stays useful and manageable.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find they can practice skills between sessions in their daily routines, and sessions can be scheduled to match work, family, or school commitments. Licensed professionals aim to make remote sessions interactive and practical, with tools and exercises you can use between appointments.
