How Jamie Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Client-centered therapy puts the person's experience at the center and emphasizes respectful listening and empathy. In practice this means Jamie focuses first on understanding concerns and priorities, then shapes sessions around what matters most to the individual.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and tests small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, panic, mood difficulties, and some eating-related concerns to produce clearer thinking and steady symptom relief.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can be a useful complement to CBT when managing stress, cravings, or strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jamie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
