Susan Jamieson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience helping people navigate life transitions, manage stress and anxiety, and strengthen relationships. She draws on professional training and personal experience to offer practical guidance tailored to each person’s situation and goals. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, anger, career issues, and bipolar management, always centering the work on the individual.

Susan uses a blend of therapeutic methods - including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered work, and mindfulness-based techniques - selecting approaches that fit a client’s needs, preferences, and personality. She emphasizes pacing the work according to the client, offering direction and support while encouraging clients to move forward at their own speed. The overall aim is to equip clients with knowledge and skills that lead to sustainable change and a more productive, positive experience.

Scheduling is approached with flexibility. If a desired appointment time does not appear on her calendar, prospective clients are invited to message their preferred days and times and Susan will try to accommodate those requests when possible.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Susan Jamieson draws from evidence-informed approaches to tailor therapy to each person. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values, which can be useful for stress, life transitions, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood, offering practical tools for everyday challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and respect for the client’s experience, creating a supportive environment for exploring emotions and relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Susan works with clients to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and circumstances, and adjusts the plan as needed so therapy remains relevant and effective. The therapist-client relationship guides these decisions and evolves over time.

Online therapy brings practical benefits in scheduling and access. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their life. This flexibility helps people maintain consistent care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
