About Jamison

Jamison Cole is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Alaska with two decades in the behavioral health field. She has worked as a private provider for over eight years and helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and depression.

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Jamison adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit what each person actually needs. She encourages small, practical steps and values clear goals and steady progress.

Her work covers a range of related concerns, including abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, aging and geriatric issues, chronic pain or illness, communication problems, codependency, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. She also has experience with personality and mood presentations such as avoidant and dependent personality patterns, antisocial features, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.

Jamison draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions. She uses client-centered methods to follow the person's lead, cognitive behavioral tools to address thinking and behavior patterns, and elements of dialectical behavioral and emotionally-focused work when emotions and relationships are central.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and Jamison aims to make starting therapy straightforward. She meets people where they are, listens first, and helps set a clear path forward suited to individual needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jamison uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's concerns, helping people feel heard and make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what's been helpful before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on how things are going.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose settings that help them focus. Licensed professionals can work with many of the same approaches online as in person, while adapting exercises and homework so they work in day-to-day life.
