About Jamie
Jamie Clausen is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with a ten-year track record in community mental health. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood swings, and the fallout from trauma. Her manner is straightforward and calm, aimed at making sessions feel practical and manageable.
Jamie uses a client-centered way of working that keeps the person's goals front and center. She blends cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to steady strong emotions.
How Jamie works
Mindfulness practices are introduced to build focus and reduce reactivity during moments of overwhelm. In sessions Jamie often starts by listening to what feels most urgent and by setting clear, small goals. She helps people break big problems into doable steps and build skills they can use between sessions.
Communication skills and talking through family-related concerns are frequent topics when those issues come up. Her background includes a decade in community agencies, where she gained experience with mood disorders, trauma, and substance-related concerns. That hands-on work shaped a practical style that aims to match tools to the situation rather than follow a single rigid plan.
Jamie practices in Washington and holds a WA LMHC credential. She offers different ways to meet, so people can choose what fits their life and schedule.

How Jamie's Methods Translate to Online Therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's priorities and values, giving space for them to guide each session while the therapist listens and reflects. This approach helps clarify goals and keeps the work relevant to everyday life.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood disorders because it offers concrete tools to try between sessions.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. Those tools can reduce impulsive reactions and help steady intense emotions over time.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jamie will discuss options and adapt techniques based on the client's goals, symptoms, and what feels most workable. The plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be lower bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing brief check-ins between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while using the same clinical approaches as in-person work.
