    About Susan

    Susan Jamieson is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience helping people make practical changes in their lives. She focuses on clear guidance and steady support while letting each person set the pace. Susan aims to help people figure out what they want to change and how to get there.

    Her work draws on several approaches so she can match methods to the person in front of her. She uses Motivational Interviewing to strengthen a person's own reasons for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are part of her toolbox for managing thoughts, emotions, and behavior. She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when those fit someone's goals.

    Sessions are built around the individual's needs and preferences rather than a fixed formula. Susan describes the process as collaborative - she offers direction, teaches skills, and helps people stay on track toward their goals. The pace and priorities are set by the client.

    She works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem, grief, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, anger, career questions, coping with life changes, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder.

    Susan practices in Arkansas and conducts sessions in English. People who choose to work with her complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on her availability.

  2. How Susan’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping a person find and strengthen their own reasons to change. It uses open questions, reflective listening, and goal-focused conversation to move toward decisions that feel right for the individual. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while identifying actions that match their values. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist offers empathy and support rather than directing every step.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the early process. Susan works collaboratively to figure out which methods suit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as priorities change, and she will check in regularly to make sure the plan still fits.

    Confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing meetings during a break, after work, or between activities. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed, and it helps maintain continuity when schedules change. Licensed professionals, including therapists, can adapt these approaches for remote sessions while helping people build skills and stay motivated toward their goals.
