About Mamie
Mamie Routhier is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 28 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, trauma and recovery, and life changes. Mamie also lists work with ADHD, addictions, grief, relationship concerns, and LGBT issues.
Her background includes long-term work with trauma survivors, including sexual abuse, rape, domestic violence, and other severe violence. Mamie has supported people facing poverty and the practical strains that bring. She has also worked alongside parents of children with autism and those involved in adoption and foster care situations.
Mamie describes her style as primarily humanistic, with practical elements from cognitive and behavioral approaches when useful. She tends to be direct and pragmatic in sessions, focusing on clear steps people can take. The work is interactive; she helps people talk through problems and make concrete changes.
Sessions often focus on short-term coping skills and longer-term recovery from trauma. Mamie helps with emotional regulation, sleep difficulties, anger, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports career transition stress, compassion fatigue, and caregiver strain.
Her long experience means she draws on multiple ways of working rather than a single method. People meet for straightforward conversation, problem solving, and skills practice when appropriate. To start, clients complete an intake and discuss goals for their first sessions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people set their own goals. It emphasizes respect for each person's perspective and supports work on stress, life transitions, and self-esteem. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on concrete steps and small changes that can make a difference quickly. It is useful for career stress, sleep issues, and short-term problem solving. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic events with care and pacing; it helps people manage symptoms of past abuse, domestic violence, and complex trauma.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mamie will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest one or more ways of working. That choice is reviewed and adjusted as progress or needs change, so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use audio-only or lower-bandwidth options when video is difficult. The therapist and client will decide which approach and session rhythm best match the person's goals and daily life.
