   About Jamie

   Jamie Dimacchia is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, and relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar mood issues, and compassion fatigue. Jamie’s approach is practical and down-to-earth, and she invites clients to shape the pace and goals of their work together.

   She trained in psychology at Kent State University and earned a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Cleveland State University. Over a decade of practice has given her experience with a broad range of concerns, including social anxiety, OCD, and life transitions. Jamie keeps building her knowledge about cultural, religious, and spiritual influences so she can better understand each person’s background.

   In sessions she focuses on collaboration and clear goals. She uses strategies from Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to set small, doable steps. Jamie also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and values.

   Her style is open and empathetic. She encourages clients to decide how often to meet and what to work on. Jamie emphasizes practical tools people can use between sessions to handle stress, improve sleep, and manage mood swings.

   People considering therapy are invited to reflect on what they most want to change before a first meeting. Jamie aims to make beginning therapy straightforward and focused on real-life results.

2. How evidence-based approaches guide online sessions

   Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation one step at a time. It’s useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes in behavior or routines.
   
   Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking actions that align with those values. It helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions by teaching acceptance of hard feelings while moving toward what matters.
   
   Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and stress. It gives practical techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve sleep.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may combine techniques from different approaches and will be revisited as goals change.
   
   If you plan to try online therapy, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats also let people choose not to use video, which can help reduce bandwidth needs or make sessions feel less formal. Ask about current options when you schedule so sessions match your routine and goals.
