About Jamie
Jamie OConnor is a Wisconsin-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and anger. Sessions address everyday problems as well as longer standing patterns that keep problems repeating.
Her practice combines practical tools and talk. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small, meaningful steps toward them.
Mindfulness practices are offered to help manage intense feelings in the moment. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at how past relationships and early experiences still influence current reactions. Client-centered techniques create space for people to speak and be heard while they sort things out.
Jamie helps with a wide range of concerns beyond anger, including depression, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, and work or career stress. She also supports people dealing with attachment, adoption and foster care history, blended family dynamics, and caregiver strain.
Her style is straightforward and practical. Conversations lead to clear steps to try between sessions. If you want to reduce snapping at loved ones, lower work frustration, or handle someone else’s anger more effectively, she focuses on actions you can test in real life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It can help with anger that stems from frustration, resentment, or feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, teaching practical exercises to test different responses and reduce reactive habits.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust plans as you learn what helps. That makes sessions collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.
Confirm the specific online session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from locations with less travel time. Phone or lower-bandwidth options can be useful when video is difficult, and shorter sessions can be scheduled to fit a work break or caregiving routine.
