About Mamie
Mamie Routhier is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 28 years of practice. She works with adults on life changes, stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, trauma, and related concerns including addiction and ADHD. She also addresses family-of-origin issues, grief, career questions, intimacy and relationship concerns, and fertility or adoption-related stress.
She has long experience supporting parents of foster and adoptive children and children with autism or behavioral challenges. She has worked with people affected by sexual abuse, rape, domestic violence, and other severe trauma. She also has experience helping people cope with poverty, chronic illness, caregiver strain, and aging-related worries.
Her methods draw on client-centered, solution-focused, and trauma-focused work, mixed with pragmatic cognitive and behavioral ideas when useful. Sessions are interactive and direct; she helps people talk through concrete problems and build small, practical steps forward. The emphasis is on what someone can try next, not on abstract theory.
Mamie is comfortable discussing parenting strategies, attachment concerns, and blended family dynamics. She also assists individuals dealing with abandonment, dissociation, or complicated family histories. Her focus includes intimacy-related issues and sexual trauma responses when those are part of the presenting concerns.
Her practice notes life purpose as an area of focus alongside coping with transitions in work, relationships, or health. Sessions are conducted in English and follow the LMSW scope of practice in Michigan. To begin, readers are invited to use the site’s matching and scheduling process to set up a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client, helping people clarify values and next steps in their daily life. It is useful for questions about life purpose, family decisions, and career direction.Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to practical goals and small, achievable changes. It suits people who want short-term, step-by-step ways to move past feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses responses to past harm with techniques that help reduce symptoms and improve coping. It is applied when trauma or abuse is part of the concern, alongside other supportive strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help assess goals, preferences, and the issues a person brings, and then suggest whether client-centered, solution-focused, trauma-focused, or a mix is most helpful. This is done collaboratively rather than imposed.
Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel when someone is managing caregiving or health challenges. Talk with the therapist during the first scheduling steps about how to shape sessions to fit everyday life.
