Mamie Routhier, LMSW

Mamie Routhier is a Licensed Master Social Worker who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits alongside broader life challenges. She draws on nearly three decades of experience to help people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting strains, and changes in daily routines. Mamie writes simply and listens closely to understand what feels most urgent in a person’s life.

She has long experience supporting parents of foster and adoptive children and working with children who have autism or behavioral concerns. Her background also includes helping people who have lived through sexual abuse, domestic violence, and other severe trauma. Mamie has worked with people navigating poverty, caregiving stress, grief, and substance issues.

Mamie’s approach centers on the person in front of her. She practices client-centered methods that focus on the client’s goals and strengths. She also draws on solution-focused techniques to set practical steps and on trauma-focused work when past events affect daily life.

Sessions tend to be direct and pragmatic while staying sensitive and compassionate. Mamie helps people name patterns in thinking and everyday habits, then tries small, manageable changes that fit into real life. She aims to make therapy straightforward and useful, whether someone needs short-term problem solving or longer-term support.

She practices in Michigan and offers services in English. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability through the Start Therapy button.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy places the person's goals and experience at the center. It involves listening closely, reflecting what matters most, and helping people choose next steps that feel right for them. This approach can help with stress, self-esteem, parenting concerns, and everyday habits.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, concrete steps toward clear goals. Sessions focus on what is already working and on building practical changes. This can be useful for short-term problems like sleep, anger management, or coping with life changes.

Trauma-Focused Therapy targets the effects of past harms when they interfere with present life. It supports people in recognizing how past events shape thoughts and habits, and then works toward reducing those effects in daily routines.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as needed. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan based on what works.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, or let someone attend from a quieter spot. These practical benefits help therapy become part of everyday life without promising a particular format.
