About Jamie
Jamie Gordon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, mood issues, sleep problems, parenting strains, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and focus on practical steps a person can use between meetings.
Jamie uses straightforward, person-focused work in sessions. She listens for what matters most, then helps people build skills they can try out in daily life. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now and on small changes that reduce overwhelm and impulsive reactions.
Her methods include cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and DBT strategies for managing urges and strong emotions. She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness practices to slow reactions and increase moment-to-moment awareness. Motivational interviewing supports change when substance use or other habits are part of the problem.
Sessions commonly address anger in the context of relationships, work stress, or past hurts. Jamie helps people notice triggers, practice short-term calming tools, and plan alternatives to snapping or bottling up feelings. She also works on communication and boundary skills so frustration is expressed more clearly and less harmfully.
People who prefer direct, skills-focused work usually find this approach helpful. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session options and logistics. To begin, clients follow the site’s matching steps and arrange a first session through the booking flow.
How sessions work
How her main approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship so people feel understood and can set their own goals. It helps with motivation and with sorting out priorities when emotions are loud.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves spotting thought patterns that feed anger or anxiety and testing small behavioral changes to interrupt those patterns. It is useful for stress, mood concerns, and managing reactions at work or home.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for tolerating distress, regulating intense emotions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are often practiced in short exercises and real-world homework between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals, temperament, and the challenges they bring. That choice can change as progress is made or new needs show up.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since session types are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to practice skills in the same environments where problems arise, which many people find helpful.
