About Mamie

Mamie Routhier, LMSW, draws on nearly three decades of practice to support people through difficult transitions and everyday stresses. She uses a direct, pragmatic style that stays sensitive and compassionate. Her work often focuses on trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and adoption and foster care-related concerns. Mamie aims to help people get past the bumps that keep them stuck and move toward goals that matter to them.

Her approach centers on Client-Centered Therapy, which means she listens closely and follows each person's priorities. She also uses Solution-Focused techniques to help identify practical steps and small changes that lead to progress. Trauma-Focused methods are used when past hurt is getting in the way of daily life.

Mamie has worked with adults, kids, teens, and families across many settings in Michigan. She has long experience supporting parents of foster and adoptive children, and helping caregivers of children with autism or behavioral challenges. Her background includes substantial work with survivors of sexual abuse, domestic violence, and serious trauma, as well as people coping with poverty, addiction, and chronic stress.

In sessions she tends to be interactive and straightforward. Conversations aim to surface what’s most pressing, then focus on practical steps the person can try between meetings. The tone is compassionate, respectful, and goal-oriented.

People typically come for help with stress, parenting strain, grief, relationship issues, ADHD, and mood concerns. Mamie meets people where they are and supports them as they make changes that fit their life.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist offers support based on what matters most to the person, which helps when working through adoption and foster care stress or parenting issues. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps that can change daily routines and reduce overwhelm, useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.

The right approach often emerges together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and preferences, then suggest a mix of methods. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time so care stays aligned with what actually helps.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel on hectic days. Many people find remote sessions helpful for staying consistent while juggling parenting, work, or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to the online setting so progress continues between meetings.
