About Jamie
Jamie Hess is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of professional experience. She brings a calm, practical approach to sessions and focuses on helping people with anxiety, stress, career concerns, and self-esteem. Her style is straightforward and respectful, aimed at helping people take manageable steps forward.
She focuses on helping people find motivation and build confidence. Sessions often include setting simple goals and making a concrete plan to reach them.
Background and approach
Jamie emphasizes identifying strengths and growing resilience so people can handle setbacks more easily. Conversation in her sessions centers on processing feelings and making sense of life changes. She uses clear, empathetic dialogue and adapts the plan to each person's situation.
The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Jamie also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, compassion fatigue, and social anxiety. She pays attention to communication problems, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
Seasonal Affective Disorder and workplace stress are additional areas she addresses. Her background includes work in school settings where she helped clients set goals and develop a growth mindset. That practical experience shapes how she structures sessions today, with a balance of listening and action planning.
Jamie encourages small, doable steps and notes that starting therapy is itself an important move toward change.
Approaches that guide online work and next steps
Jamie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach helps people set clear, achievable goals and break them into small steps; this is useful for career decisions, motivation, and building confidence. Another approach centers on processing emotions and identifying strengths so clients can develop resilience when facing grief, trauma, or life changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your concerns and preferences, then suggest methods that match your goals. Over the first few sessions you and the therapist will check in and adjust the plan so it fits your pace and priorities.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and fuller interaction. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
