About Mamie
Mamie Routhier is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) based in Michigan with 28 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, parenting challenges, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses family of origin issues and supports people coping with grief, addictions, ADHD, and major life changes.
Her background includes long experience supporting parents of foster and adoptive children and working with children who have autism or behavioral needs. She has provided care to people affected by trauma, including domestic violence and sexual assault, and has helped clients manage the practical impacts of poverty.
In sessions she draws on client-centered methods and solution-focused strategies alongside trauma-informed techniques. That means conversations focus on the person's own goals, and on practical steps to handle immediate problems and safety concerns. She describes a direct, pragmatic style and an interactive way of working.
People meeting her can expect straightforward conversations about patterns that started in the family of origin and how those patterns show up now. She helps people name recurring roles, expectations, and interactions so they can try different responses.
Her work spans many concerns tied to family life - parenting, blended family issues, attachment questions, and fatherhood issues among them. Mamie uses what fits each person’s needs and adjusts methods as progress and circumstances change.
How her approaches inform online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person's experience and following their goals. It is useful when someone wants their own values and priorities to shape the work rather than a fixed set of tasks.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and measurable changes. It helps when a person needs concrete strategies for managing stress, parenting problems, or day-to-day relationship patterns.
Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses responses that come from past hurt and frightening events. It looks at how past experiences affect current reactions and teaches ways to reduce overwhelming responses while building coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which combination of methods fits a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean beginning with problem-solving steps and then using trauma-informed techniques if past experiences are affecting current functioning.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or school schedules. They also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, or meetings without video when bandwidth or comfort is an issue. Licensed professionals can adjust pacing and methods so sessions match what a person can manage in everyday life.
