How Jamie works

She adapts language and pace so people understand and feel comfortable trying what they decide to try. Her background includes a wide range of clinical work over more than a decade. That experience feeds into straightforward strategies for coping, problem solving, and making steady changes.

Online support options
Approach-driven care delivered online
Jamie often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. ACT helps people notice thoughts and choose values-based actions instead of getting stuck, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, or life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. This collaborative process helps tailor which methods to prioritize and when to bring in mindfulness or psychodynamic ideas for deeper pattern work.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good when visual cues and a longer conversation matter. Phone can fit a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth situations. Chat and text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and to keep in touch between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and accessible for different routines and needs.
