Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions with Jamie Peckous

Jamie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress or low mood and to develop concrete skills for change. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to explore a person’s own reasons for change and to strengthen motivation when facing ambivalence about goals such as parenting adjustments, recovery from loss, or career shifts. Narrative Therapy is used to reframe difficult experiences by separating the person from the problem, allowing new perspectives on identity and purpose especially after grief or major life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jamie works with each client to explore what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time to support progress in a way that feels actionable and respectful.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are delivered - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to maintain continuity during life transitions. These options help clients access licensed professionals and therapists from locations across North Carolina with convenient scheduling and ongoing support between sessions.
