Background and approach

She also helps people navigate relationship struggles, intimacy concerns, anger, and self-esteem challenges. Her practice blends client-centered work with practical techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.

Mindfulness practices are used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing is part of how she works with people facing addictive behaviors or stages of change. Solution-focused conversations are used to set short-term goals and try small experiments that can build momentum.

Jamie treats each person as an individual. She emphasizes respect, dignity, and collaboration while supporting coping with life changes, career shifts, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related concerns. She also addresses women's issues, body image, codependency, and control struggles.

Sessions are offered in English and Jamie is open to working with international clients. She welcomes those ready to take steps toward change and supports practical next steps toward healthier routines and relationships.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Jamie integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are to build trust and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and change habits.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice their experience without judgment and reduce reactivity. These approaches are useful for stress, panic, social anxiety, addictive behaviors, and coping with life changes. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and adjusts that plan over time.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send quick updates, get brief coaching between sessions, or manage moments of heightened emotion. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try different formats to see what works best.
