About Jamie
Jamie Peckous is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 12 years of experience to her work in North Carolina. She focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier in daily life. She listens to each person’s story and helps them make sense of what’s happening now.
She uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe difficult chapters and find strengths in their life story. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach for shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and low mood going.
Background and approach
She also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to build momentum and set achievable goals. Many people come with stress, anxiety, or feeling stuck after changes like grief or parenting challenges. She supports those coping with depression, postpartum struggles, low self-esteem, and career decisions.
Additional areas she addresses include adoption and foster care concerns, communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. Sessions are practical and straightforward. Conversations focus on small, doable steps and clearer ways to tell your story about what happened and what you want next.
The tone is collaborative and respectful rather than prescriptive. Clients receive clear tools and check-ins to track progress. The work aims to reduce overwhelm, improve coping, and increase confidence in everyday life.

Online session options
How Narrative and CBT work online
Jamie blends Narrative Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people by phone, video, chat, or text. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and their lives, helping them rewrite limiting narratives and notice strengths. CBT looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple skills to reduce anxiety and low mood.She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused ideas to set small goals and keep progress moving. Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative - the therapist and client look at needs, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods over time. This partnership helps find what actually works for each person.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or suit lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and text-based messaging offer quick ways to process feelings between sessions or check progress. These options provide flexibility and accessibility while keeping the focus on practical change.
