Professional statement

Jayme Johnson specializes in helping adults navigate grief, betrayal trauma, anxiety, and major life transitions. Many of her clients come to therapy after experiencing the death of a loved one, infidelity, divorce, relationship loss, or another life event that has left them questioning who they are and how to move forward. She is committed to providing an affirming, inclusive space where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported.

Jayme's approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence based practice. Drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, psychodynamic principles, and trauma informed care, she helps clients process painful experiences while exploring the deeper patterns that influence their relationships, emotions, and sense of self. Her goal is not only to reduce distress, but to help clients build resilience, reconnect with their values, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Jayme earned her Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and is currently pursuing a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. She is the co founder of Shore Thing Therapy and provides virtual therapy for adults throughout Rhode Island. Whether you're grieving a profound loss, healing from betrayal, or feeling stuck in a difficult chapter of life, Jayme strives to create a therapeutic relationship where healing feels possible and growth can take root.


Message to clients

If you're considering therapy, chances are something important has happened that has changed the way you see yourself, your relationships, or your future. Whether you're grieving someone you love, healing after betrayal, or feeling overwhelmed by a life transition, you don't have to carry it alone. My goal is to create a space where you can speak honestly without worrying about being judged, rushed, or told how you "should" be feeling.

I don't believe healing means forgetting what happened or pretending it didn't matter. Together, we'll make sense of your experiences, understand how they've shaped you, and work toward building a life that feels meaningful again. Some sessions may focus on practical strategies for managing anxiety or overwhelming emotions, while others may involve exploring deeper patterns, relationships, and beliefs that deserve attention.

I hope that, over time, therapy becomes more than a place to cope. I hope it becomes a place where you rediscover your own strength, rebuild trust in yourself, and begin to believe that life can hold joy, connection, and purpose again, even after profound loss.

"She was super kind, love her personality. I just had to leave my old therapist of 5/6 years so it was hard to think of getting a new one. She’s easy to connect with and makes you feel comfortable within couple minutes"
