About Jamie
Jamie Gordon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or struggles with substance use. Her work often touches on relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep problems, and managing mood swings and attention challenges.
Jamie uses a straightforward, compassionate style. She listens first and helps people set practical goals.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to teach skills that can be used between meetings, such as coping tools for intense emotions and steps to reduce cravings or problematic behaviors. Her background includes ten years of practice in mental health and addiction settings, where she combined talk-based approaches with skill training.
Jamie favors methods that help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, increase emotional regulation, and build motivation for change. She explains tools in plain language and checks in on progress each session. People meet Jamie when they want clear steps and steady support.
She works with clients on issues like grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, codependency, and recovery from drug or alcohol addiction. Jamie also helps with problems such as impulsivity, isolation, guilt, and finding life purpose. Her sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the service, then beginning regular sessions based on what the person needs and prefers.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive partnership. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects their experience, and helps set goals that feel doable. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, understanding presence while they sort out emotions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Jamie teaches simple exercises to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday stressors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, often shortened to DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It offers concrete skills for handling intense feelings and impulsive urges, which can be helpful for mood swings, anger, and impulsivity.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Jamie works collaboratively to match strategies to a person's goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is made. Expect to try skills in between sessions and review what helps.
Online therapy gives flexibility by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for teaching and role-play, phone can fit into a break or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support short check-ins or skill practice. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and fit therapy into a busy life.
