About Jamison

Jamison Cole is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Alaska. She brings 20 years of work in behavioral health and two decades of hands-on experience to meetings with clients. Jamison focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and depression. She aims to meet people where they are and make the first step feel manageable.

Jamison spent many years in varied behavioral health roles before providing private therapy. That background informs a steady, experienced approach to common and complex concerns. She adapts conversations and care to each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Sessions emphasize clear, practical steps alongside space to talk through difficult feelings. Jamison uses techniques drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and emotion-focused methods to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. She also draws on dialectical behavior and solution-focused approaches when a short-term plan or emotion regulation skills are helpful.

Jamison treats matters related to abandonment, adoption and foster care, aging issues, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems, and divorce among other concerns. Her style is respectful and sensitive, with attention to each person’s priorities. She encourages small goals and steady progress.

If you’re considering starting therapy, Jamison asks for a brief matching questionnaire to get started and then schedules sessions based on availability. The process is collaborative, and she will work with you to shape a plan that fits your life.

How Jamison’s approaches fit into online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building understanding from your perspective. It helps when someone needs space to talk and be heard while shaping goals at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and depression because it teaches concrete skills to test and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers specific tools for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It can help people learn coping skills, emotional regulation, and clearer communication for difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jamison will discuss these methods with each person and together decide what to try first based on current needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision can shift over time as new issues come up or progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions around work, parenting, and travel, and it can make shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions easier to arrange. Jamison will work with you to create a schedule and plan that fits everyday life.
