Background and approach
Mamie has also worked extensively with trauma, including sexual abuse, domestic violence, and other severe violence. Her background includes helping people manage addiction, bipolar disorder, and the strain of caregiver roles. Mamie’s main approaches are client-centered work, solution-focused methods, and trauma-focused techniques.
That means sessions often center on the client's goals, look for practical steps that make a difference, and address traumatic memories when needed. She uses straightforward language and keeps sessions interactive and goal-oriented. In session she will listen, reflect what matters, and suggest small, doable changes.
Some people come for short-term problem solving, while others use therapy to navigate longer recovery from trauma. She also supports people facing career stress, sleep problems, anger, and relationship concerns. Mamie practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Her work is informed by many years helping people across a wide range of life circumstances.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. It helps when someone needs a listening space to sort through feelings and decide what matters most. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes that move a person toward their goals. It is useful for addressing stress, anxiety, parenting problems, and short-term setbacks.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, preferences, and goals, then try methods that fit. Goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made, so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging to match different routines. Video is helpful for fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or ongoing support between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy days, commuting schedules, or caregiving responsibilities.
