About Jamie
Jamie Peckous is an LCSW licensed in North Carolina who focuses on practical, goal-oriented work. She uses conversation and clear strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. She focuses on everyday concerns parents and adults bring up, such as parenting strain, grief and loss, career transitions, and coping with life changes.
Jamie pays attention to how a person’s story and daily habits affect their mood and choices.
How Jamie works
She aims to make sessions straightforward and useful from the first meeting. Her approach mixes tools that help change unhelpful thinking and behavior with brief goal-focused work. She also uses narrative ideas to help people reframe difficult experiences and motivational strategies to build momentum for change.
This gives a mix of short-term problem solving and deeper personal reflection. Jamie brings 12 years of professional experience to her practice. She works with issues including adoption and foster care questions, postpartum depression, communication problems, and loneliness.
She also addresses guilt, shame, and young adult concerns. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Getting started is simple: click Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that fits the client’s needs.

Online support options
Approach-driven online care for practical change
Jamie blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people make concrete changes. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal reasons to change and build small steps toward goals.The therapist treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress or challenges appear.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or to fit a break at work. Live chat and text allow for shorter check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still using the approaches described above.
