About Susan

Susan Jamieson brings 12 years of clinical social work experience to her practice and holds the LCSW credential. She frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at helping people identify the specific changes they want and learn practical ways to put those changes into action.

Background and approach

Her background in both professional training and life experience informs a flexible approach that adapts to each client’s needs and personality. Jamieson draws on several evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to help clients manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, parenting concerns, career stress, anger, and self-esteem issues.

She emphasizes pacing the work to fit each person, offering guidance while honoring the client’s rhythm and goals. Sessions focus on building skills, clarifying values, and creating achievable steps toward improvement.

Clients who prefer regular support will find that she aims for a productive and positive experience, and she often has more availability than calendar listings indicate. If a suitable appointment time is not visible, she invites prospective clients to message preferred days and times so she can try to accommodate scheduling needs.

How evidence-informed approaches translate to online care

CBT helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured strategies and skill-building, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and other everyday challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and learning ways to accept difficult emotions while committing to actions that move a person toward a meaningful life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and creating a respectful space where clients guide the direction and pace of their own work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, and may blend elements from different approaches to suit individual needs. The emphasis is on mutual decision making and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit into busy schedules and varied lifestyles. These formats make regular contact and skill practice easier to maintain, supporting continuity of care and accessibility for clients who need convenient options.
