About Jamie

Jamie Haidinger is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She is based in New Hampshire and brings a calm, steady style to sessions. Jamie listens first and works with each person to set useful, realistic goals.

Her approach is practical and encouraging, aimed at easing day-to-day struggles and restoring a sense of balance. Jamie has 15 years in formal licensed practice and many more years in related counseling and coaching roles.

Background and approach

She draws on training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered care. These methods are used simply - to notice thoughts, try new behaviors, and strengthen what's already working. Her background includes work in acute medical hospitals, nursing homes, and rehabilitation centers.

That experience informs how she supports people facing illness, caregiver stress, end-of-life issues, and chronic health challenges. Jamie has also assisted people coping with loss, family conflicts, relationship pain, and major life changes like retirement or separation. Jamie holds a Master of Social Work from Boston University and a Certificate of Clinical Gerontology from Boston College.

She is licensed as an LICSW and an LCSW, with credential information MA LICSW 1018374 and ME LCSW LC21623. Her manner is warm, nurturing, and patient as she helps people move toward clearer decisions and calmer days. Sessions focus on practical steps and steady emotional support.

Jamie aims to meet people where they are and move at a pace that feels safe and doable. The work often includes learning new coping skills, improving communication, and making plans that fit real life.

How Jamie Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that fit their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and shift patterns in close relationships by identifying feelings and needs, which can be helpful for relationship stress and intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Jamie will talk with a client about their goals and try methods that fit the person and the problem. She adjusts techniques over time and checks in to see what is helping and what needs to change, so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options allow people to meet with a licensed professional from home, during a break, or while traveling. The variety of formats also makes it easier to use short coaching sessions, longer therapy conversations, or ongoing text check-ins depending on what the person needs.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
