Jamison Cole , LCSW

Jamison Cole is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience in behavioral health and more than eight years as a private provider. She holds an LCSW license in Alaska and Arizona and focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and depression.

Jamison uses a practical, respectful approach in sessions. She listens first, then works with each person to shape a plan that fits their life and goals. Her style is direct but warm, with an emphasis on clear steps people can try between sessions.

Her background includes work across community and clinical settings, which informs how she tailors care for different concerns. Jamison draws on several evidence-based methods to address things like communication problems, codependency, and coping after loss or separation.

People often come for help with specific situations such as adoption and foster care questions, blended family adjustments, chronic illness or pain, or the long-term effects of trauma. She also supports those facing aging-related transitions and issues tied to personality or mood regulation.

Jamison frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set short-term goals, track progress, and adjust strategies as needs change. That practical focus aims to make problem-solving feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

How Jamison’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful relationship. In practice this means sessions focus on the person’s priorities and Jamison follows their lead to identify what matters most and which day-to-day steps to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with relationship strain and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jamison collaborates with each person to pick and adapt methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so strategies remain useful and realistic for the client’s life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and skill practice, phone can be a quicker check-in when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can fit brief check-ins or between-session support. These options make scheduling easier and help people stay connected when travel or location would otherwise be a barrier.
