Susan Jamieson, LCSW

Susan Jamieson believes that most people have the ability to live better and feel better, and she understands that sometimes a bit of help is needed to get started or to stay on track. As an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 12 years of experience, she blends formal training with professional and life experience to help clients clarify what they want to change and how to make those changes in practical ways.

Her practice draws on a variety of therapeutic approaches chosen to match each person’s needs, preferences, and personality, yet the central focus remains consistent - the client. Susan provides guidance and support while ensuring that progress happens at a pace that feels manageable and productive. She aims to create a therapeutic process that is both respectful and empowering, with clear steps toward the goals a client identifies.

Susan also notes that her availability can be greater than what appears on the calendar. If a preferred time is not visible, prospective clients are invited to message her with their preferred days and times and she will make an effort to accommodate scheduling requests.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Susan Jamieson uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core tools in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed steps toward personal values - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, coping skills, and managing mood fluctuations.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Susan works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so the client and therapist make decisions together.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy life or to access support from different locations. These options allow clients to continue consistent work toward goals while maintaining scheduling flexibility and accessibility with licensed professionals.
