About Jamie
Jamie Peckous is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 12 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, parenting concerns, grief, career questions, and coping with life changes.
She focuses on practical conversation and goal-focused steps. She invites people to talk through where guilt or shame shows up and how it affects daily life. Sessions emphasize strengths the person already has, and build small, manageable changes rather than dramatic overhauls.
Jamie uses concrete tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and to set short-term goals. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people wrestling with mixed feelings about change. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from painful stories they carry and consider different ways to understand past events.
Her style centers on clarifying what matters to each person and then trying practical steps that fit their life. She pays attention to grief, parenting strain, adoption and foster care issues, postpartum mood concerns, isolation, and the particular pressures young adults and women often face.
People who come to Jamie for help with guilt and shame often start by naming the specific moments that keep recurring. From there she works with them to test new thoughts, practice different responses, and track what helps in everyday situations.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jamie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and test unhelpful thoughts, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short, practical goals. CBT helps when rumination and negative beliefs feed guilt and shame, while Solution-Focused work narrows in on small changes that can be tried between sessions.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people sort mixed feelings about change and to find reasons that matter to them. That approach is collaborative and helps with motivation when someone feels stuck or uncertain about taking steps forward.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about which approaches make sense based on their goals and preferences, and will adjust methods over time as needed.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when a brief conversation is more helpful than a full session. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and goal-tracking to an online setting so that therapeutic steps fit into everyday life.
