About Mamie
Mamie Routhier is an MI LMSW with 28 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems like stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and trauma-related concerns. Mamie also supports people facing life changes such as grief, career shifts, addiction issues, and challenges tied to caregiving or chronic health problems.
She has long experience supporting parents of adopted and foster children, children with autism, and youth with behavioral or mental health needs. Her background includes many years treating trauma from sexual abuse, rape, domestic violence, and other severe incidents. She also has experience helping people manage bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Mamie describes her approach as largely humanistic, with practical elements from cognitive and behavioral ideas. In sessions she is direct and pragmatic, focusing on useful next steps rather than abstract theory. She emphasizes interactive work where the person and therapist collaborate on coping strategies and problem-solving.
Many people come to her wanting concrete ways to handle anger, sleep problems, or parenting stress. She draws on client-centered listening to hear what matters most, then uses solution-focused methods to set short-term goals. When trauma is present she brings trauma-focused work into the plan alongside other methods.
Clients can expect a straightforward, responsive style that balances emotional listening with action. Mamie practices in Michigan and works in English.
How her approaches shape online work
Mamie uses client-centered therapy to listen for what matters most to the person and to build sessions around their priorities. That approach helps when someone wants to talk through parenting pressures, relationship strain, or ongoing anger without a preset plan.She also uses solution-focused therapy to set short-term, practical goals. This method concentrates on small measurable steps that can reduce frustration, improve sleep routines, or change workplace reactions. When trauma is part of the picture she incorporates trauma-focused methods to address painful memories and their effects on daily life.
Finding the best approach is treated as a collaborative task. Mamie will work with each person to choose which methods to emphasize based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She explains options in plain language and adjusts the plan as progress or new concerns appear.
If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats offered before booking. The practical benefit of remote sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins, avoiding commute time, and scheduling around work or caregiving. Talk with her about what will fit your routine so sessions can be arranged in a way that helps you follow through.
