Jamie Haidinger, LICSW, LCSW

Jamie Haidinger is a licensed social worker who focuses on helping people through major life shifts and emotional pain. She brings a calm, nurturing presence to sessions and listens closely to each person's story. Her style is warm and practical, aimed at helping clients feel steadier and more hopeful.

Jamie has a Master of Social Work degree from Boston University and a Certificate of Clinical Gerontology from Boston College. She also holds MA LICSW and ME LCSW credentials and has practiced for 15 years as a licensed clinician in New Hampshire and neighboring states. Before private practice she spent decades working in hospitals, nursing homes, and rehab centers where she provided supportive counseling, crisis intervention, and life coaching.

In sessions she starts by meeting people where they are and naming the places that hurt. She helps clients sort through anxiety, depression, grief, relationship troubles, parenting concerns, and difficult health-related changes. She also works with people facing caregiver stress, chronic illness, end-of-life issues, and aging and geriatric concerns.

Her approach blends practical tools and compassionate conversation. Techniques include acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive behavioral ideas, emotion-focused work, and motivational coaching. Jamie aims to build plans that move people toward better daily functioning and clearer decisions.

She values collaboration and gradual change. Clients are invited to set the pace and choose goals that matter to them. To begin, readers can use the site Start Therapy button and complete the brief matching questionnaire to schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jamie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice hard thoughts and still move toward what matters. ACT can be useful for anxiety, grief, and life transitions because it combines mindfulness with goal-focused action. Client-Centered Therapy is another part of her work where she follows the person's lead and offers empathetic listening to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps by identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and testing new, more helpful ways of responding.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist collaborates with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and the specific issues they bring. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, with a focus on practical steps and emotional support.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue care when facing health or mobility challenges. The therapist will discuss the best way to meet based on each person's schedule and goals.
