   About Jamie

   Jamie Clausen is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and trauma. She describes her work in simple terms and focuses on getting to know each person before planning next steps. Jamie aims to make therapy feel practical and manageable for busy lives.

   She uses a client-centered way of working, which means sessions start with the person's goals and move at their pace. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and coping. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolbox when people want help finding momentum for change.

   Jamie has spent a decade in community mental health settings. That background gives her experience with depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, anxiety, and addiction concerns. She also helps individuals sort through relationship and family communication problems and the strain that life changes can bring.

   In sessions she focuses on clear, achievable steps. That can look like practicing new communication skills, building routines for better sleep and eating, or learning short tools to reduce panic and intense mood swings. She balances skill teaching with listening to what matters most to the person in front of her.

   Jamie works in Washington and conducts sessions in English. She is an LMHC and combines practical strategies with a person-first approach to help clients make steady progress toward their goals.

2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

   Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's goals. Online sessions using this approach prioritize clear check-ins and time to reflect so the person leads the pace and topics.
   
   Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short, practical exercises. In remote sessions CBT often includes homework between meetings, simple worksheets, and skill practice tailored to daily routines.
   
   Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings and strengthen their reasons for change. Over video or phone this approach uses focused questions and gentle feedback to help people find internal motivation and take small steps forward.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best, based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made.
   
   Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, support consistent skill practice between sessions, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them. Ask about available session options when you arrange a first meeting.
