About Jamie

Jamie Pereira is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California who draws on five years of clinical social work experience to help people manage a wide range of mental health concerns.

Background and approach

She works with clients facing stress, anxiety, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, addictions, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, and challenges related to intimacy, relationships, and family dynamics. ADHD is listed among her focus areas and is included alongside other concerns she supports.

Her background includes helping people cope with life transitions, parenting difficulties, sleep and eating issues, anger and self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include chronic pain and illness, end-of-life concerns, substance use and codependency, and complex co-morbid presentations.

Jamie emphasizes the client’s strengths and personal expertise in their life story, approaching work as a collaborative effort to identify goals and develop practical coping strategies. Clients can expect a supportive, empowering stance aimed at helping them take steps toward greater well-being.

Jamie accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English, offering several online session formats to accommodate different needs and schedules.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Jamie integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping skills and emotional processing. One approach she uses helps clients develop clear behavioral strategies and routines to manage symptoms of anxiety, ADHD, and mood instability, aiming to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach supports processing of trauma and grief through guided exploration of emotions and gradual exposure to difficult memories, which can help people build tolerance for distress and restore a sense of safety.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify goals, experiment with techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful, so treatment evolves with the client's needs and preferences.

Online therapy with Jamie is offered through flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, accommodate geographic distance, and provide consistent support between in-person appointments when needed. Licensed professionals can tailor the pace and tools of therapy to suit each client while making services more accessible and convenient.
