About John
John Jamieson is a Florida LCSW with 40 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma, grief, and eating concerns. He also lists work with LGBT issues and support around guilt and shame.
He uses direct conversation and practical strategies in sessions. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy to help people clarify values, change unhelpful patterns, and manage strong emotions. Sessions often focus on small, doable steps rather than long lecture-style explanations.
John pays attention to how past events and identity-related shame show up in day-to-day life. He will talk through communication problems, forgiveness, and life-purpose questions in straightforward terms. He also addresses issues connected to gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, infidelity, and non-monogamous relationships when they are raised.
His background includes substantial time supporting people affected by trauma, prejudice, and military-related concerns. He frames work around skill building, understanding triggers, and strengthening coping responses that fit everyday routines.
People who come for help with guilt and shame can expect a mix of reflective conversation and evidence-based techniques aimed at changing thoughts and actions. John encourages clear goals and regular review of progress to keep therapy practical and relevant.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them. It helps people who feel stuck by shifting attention from unhelpful thoughts to concrete choices that reflect what matters to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions together and teaches practical skills to change patterns that maintain anxiety, guilt, or low mood. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and difficulties with eating or addictive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences together and suggest which methods to try first. That choice is adjusted over time based on what helps and what fits the person’s day-to-day life.
