About Jamie
Jamie Peckous is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief, and address parenting and self-esteem concerns. Jamie focuses on practical strategies people can use between sessions to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
She works in a direct, goal-focused way that draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other pragmatic methods. Sessions often include identifying patterns of thinking, testing new behaviors, and setting small, doable goals. Jamie also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who are unsure about change and Solution-Focused and Narrative Therapy ideas to clarify steps forward.
People commonly come to her for help with life transitions, career questions, postpartum changes, and relationship communication problems. She also has experience with adoption and foster care topics, feelings of shame or guilt, and isolation or loneliness. Her approach is action-oriented and problem-solving rather than purely reflective.
In sessions she prioritizes clear tools and short-term plans that fit into busy lives. Clients leave with specific strategies to try between meetings, such as focused thought records, behavioral experiments, or brief communication exercises. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted based on what works.
Jamie offers services in English and practices in North Carolina. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the platform.
How Jamie applies CBT and brief therapies in online sessions
Jamie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that make stress and anxiety worse and to practice different responses. CBT sessions focus on clear steps - identifying thoughts, testing them with real-life experiments, and building small routines that reduce symptoms.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about making changes, using open questions and reflective listening to clarify goals. Narrative Therapy ideas help people reframe personal stories and see alternate viewpoints when past events continue to cause distress.
Deciding on the right approach is collaborative. She will discuss goals, try an approach, and adjust based on how the work is going. Clients and therapist check progress and pivot to different techniques when needed.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit brief check-ins into busy days, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter session if that helps with scheduling. Licensed professionals commonly use practical worksheets and homework between meetings so therapy can fit into everyday routines.
