About Jamie
Jamie Blakeman is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 16 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and complications from co-occurring conditions. Jamie speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure about therapy.
She combines practical skill building with warm, steady support. Sessions often include problem-solving and skills practice to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
Background and approach
Jamie adapts her approach to what each person needs, rather than sticking to a single method. Her work pulls from client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior approaches. That means attention to understanding each person’s perspective, identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, and building emotion regulation and coping skills.
Mindfulness and motivational strategies are woven in when they match a person’s goals. Jamie has experience supporting people with substance concerns, bipolar disorder, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, eating and sleep problems, and work-related stress. She also helps with parenting strain, body image, chronic illness, and other overlapping challenges that complicate daily life.
Therapy with Jamie is collaborative. She listens first, helps set clear goals, and uses straightforward tools you can practice between sessions. People work on steps that matter to them, whether that means managing strong emotions, improving sleep, or rebuilding routines after a big life change.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Jamie uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as core parts of her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building a trusting connection so people can feel heard and make changes at their own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy when needed to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. DBT techniques help people manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive actions, and improve relationships through clear skills practice and problem solving.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. Jamie works together with each person to clarify goals and then chooses techniques that match those goals and personal preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels useful and realistic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and skills practice, while phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging suits quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when people want support without scheduling a full video session. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules and support consistent progress.
