Susan Jamieson, LCSW

Susan Jamieson is a licensed clinical social worker with twelve years of practice supporting people who want to feel and function better. She focuses on practical steps that help clients manage stress and anxiety and make changes that matter. Her approach centers on each person’s goals and pace. She aims to offer clear guidance while keeping the client in control of the process.

Jamieson draws on a mix of conversational, evidence-based methods chosen to fit the person in the room. She listens for what matters most and helps people set small, doable goals. Sessions often break worries into manageable parts and build skills for day-to-day life. She emphasizes realistic strategies rather than abstract theory.

Her background includes a range of clinical experience and life experience that inform straightforward, usable support. She frames challenges like relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, and work pressure as issues that can be addressed step by step. She also works with people coping with trauma, mood fluctuations such as bipolar symptoms, and major life transitions.

Jamieson uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness, dialectical behavior approaches, and client-centered work. She tailors those tools to the client’s preferences and personality. Progress is tracked through practical goals and regular check-ins.

To begin, she recommends selecting what change matters most and building from there. The emphasis is on steady progress, not quick fixes, and on helping clients find workable strategies they can use after sessions end.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Susan commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with worry, low mood, and daily coping.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Susan works together with each person to decide which techniques feel most useful. She adjusts tools based on the client’s goals, preferences, and what is working in early sessions so care feels collaborative and responsive.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. They also let people use mindfulness practices and behavioral skills from home or other convenient locations without rearranging an entire day. Talk with her during the matching process to find a setup that fits your routine and goals.
