Jamie Haidinger

Jamie Haidinger is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of practice in therapeutic settings. She offers a warm, supportive approach for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. Jamie listens with patience and helps people name what feels hardest right now so they can take small, manageable steps forward.

Jamie’s background includes work in acute medical hospitals, nursing homes, and physical rehab centers. She previously provided supportive counseling, crisis intervention, and life coaching in those settings. Her training includes a Master of Social Work from Boston University and a Certificate of Clinical Gerontology from Boston College, and she holds MA LICSW and ME LCSW credentials.

In sessions she begins where a person is, not where she thinks they should be. Conversations are paced to match readiness, and goals are practical and concrete. She draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and client-centered work to build coping skills, manage difficult emotions, and clarify values.

People contact Jamie for help with parenting stress, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, chronic illness, caregiving burden, and transitions like retirement or divorce. She also supports those processing trauma, abuse, or end-of-life and hospice related concerns.

The work focuses on collaboration. Jamie helps people create a simple plan, try small changes, and adjust as needed. Her aim is to reduce overwhelming feelings and increase the ability to move through life changes with more ease.

How Jamie’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking committed steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help people facing major life changes who want to act in line with their values despite fear or uncertainty. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience, offering empathic listening and collaboration so people feel heard and can shape their own goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort. That choice is collaborative and can shift as the work progresses, so the plan adapts to what helps most.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy days, makes check-ins easier during medical or caregiving routines, and allows for shorter focused sessions when needed. Online sessions can support skill practice between meetings and make it simpler to continue care while navigating life changes, but be sure to verify which formats this therapist currently offers.
