Jamie Peckous

Jamie Peckous is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina with 12 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, parenting challenges, grief, and career concerns. She frames therapy around each person’s strengths and goals and offers steady support while people take steps toward change.

Jamie emphasizes clear, manageable steps in sessions. She uses methods that help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, strengthen motivation, and build workable solutions for day-to-day problems. Conversations are meant to be direct and respectful, and she helps clients notice what already works so they can build on it.

She also works with issues tied to adoption and foster care, communication struggles, feelings of guilt or shame, loneliness, mood shifts, postpartum depression, and concerns common to women and young adults. These areas are woven into the practical tools and stories she uses in sessions.

Jamie prefers a collaborative approach that asks about a person’s goals and what they want to try first. She helps people develop small experiments and new habits that fit their lives. The aim is to make progress that feels useful between sessions, not just in the therapy room.

Taking a first step can feel hard, and Jamie offers steady guidance through that process. She encourages people to name what matters to them and to try changes at a manageable pace.

How Jamie’s Approaches Fit Online Support

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, stress, and work-related challenges. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build momentum; it works well when motivation feels stuck or when someone is weighing options.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jamie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will try methods that match their needs. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts it over time based on what helps most.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. It also supports shorter goal-focused meetings or regular weekly sessions depending on what a person needs. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively across different settings, and Jamie aims to shape her approach to fit everyday life and practical goals.
