She holds a Master of Social Work degree from Boston University and a Certificate of Clinical Gerontology from Boston College. Her credentials include LICSW and LCSW and she practices in New Hampshire.

Her approach blends several evidence-based methods to address emotional and behavioral concerns. Jamie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different choices. She also incorporates client-centered and emotionally focused elements to prioritize empathic listening and stronger relationships.

Clients who have worked with Jamie often seek help for caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, end-of-life concerns, and transitions like retirement or divorce. She also supports people coping with trauma, addictions, intimacy and communication problems, and parenting challenges.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to the client’s readiness. Jamie aims to reduce distress, improve mood, and strengthen coping skills so people can make clearer decisions and reconnect with what matters to them.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Jamie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that line up with their values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, chronic health concerns, and making changes that matter.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try experiments that change mood and behavior. CBT techniques are often practical for stress, depression, and coping with painful situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jamie will discuss options and tailor methods to the person’s needs, goals, and comfort level. This is a collaborative process that adjusts as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions help fit care into busy days, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or eliminate travel time when mobility or illness is a factor.
