Jamie Haidinger, LICSW, LCSW

Jamie Haidinger offers a compassionate, person-focused approach to counseling that combines clinical training with experience in medical and rehabilitation settings. She has provided supportive counseling, crisis intervention, and life coaching in acute medical hospitals, nursing homes, and community physical rehabilitation centers, working with people facing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and major life transitions such as empty nest, divorce, or retirement. Individuals coping with physical or emotional abuse have also sought her support.

Her academic preparation includes a Bachelor of Social Work from Salem State University, a Master of Social Work from Boston University, and a Certificate of Clinical Gerontology from Boston College. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and brings a nurturing, collaborative style to therapeutic work. Jamie meets people where they are, listens to their stories, and partners with them to identify sources of distress and practical steps toward relief.

Jamie uses an array of clinical approaches tailored to each person, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused therapy. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, relationships and family dynamics, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, self-esteem, career transitions, and coping with life changes. She emphasizes gentle, respectful pacing so that people move forward at a pace that feels right for them.

Across her work, Jamie focuses on helping people reduce anxiety, improve mood, navigate difficult decisions, strengthen personal and work relationships, and process loss. Her style is warm, supportive, and oriented toward practical plans that can lead to greater ease and well-being.
