About Jamie
Jamie Finkelstein is a licensed professional counselor with 11 years of experience. She offers a calm, affirming presence for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or big life changes. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at helping clients feel understood and steadier day to day.
Jamie uses practical skills and down-to-earth conversation to help people manage symptoms and make concrete changes. She listens for what matters most and then helps clients set small, workable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear tools for coping, better communication, and rebuilding confidence. In session she blends approaches to meet each person's needs. That can mean learning new ways of thinking about anxious thoughts, practicing skills to regulate strong emotions, or working on values and committed action.
She supports people navigating grief, trauma, addiction, career stress, caregiving burdens, and relationship challenges. Jamie also brings experience with topics like parenting strain, body image, adoption and foster care, chronic illness and pain, and compassion fatigue. She aims to make therapy a place to clarify priorities, repair connection, and plan next steps.
Practical homework and brief skill practice are common parts of the work. Clients can expect steady, nonjudgmental guidance and clear options for moving forward. Jamie helps people weigh choices, test new behaviors, and build routines that reduce distress.
Her goal is to help clients leave sessions feeling a little more capable and less alone.
How therapy methods translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep trouble. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps people find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jamie will invite conversation about goals, past attempts, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods, check what works, and adjust the plan over time so it fits the client's needs and preferences.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls offer face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief, flexible contact and ongoing check-ins between sessions. These formats increase convenience and let people practice skills where they live and work.
