About Jamie
Jamie Beggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas who focuses on parenting, trauma, anxiety, and related concerns. She works with parents and with individuals facing transitions, offering calm support and clear tools. Her approach aims to make therapy feel practical and manageable for busy families.
She values the person’s own knowledge of their life and choices. Sessions center on building small skills that can be used right away. Jamie encourages clients to notice strengths and use them to face parenting stresses, relationship strain, or mood and motivation problems.
Background and approach
Jamie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clarify values and make choices that match what matters most. Motivational Interviewing techniques are available when someone needs help finding the drive to make changes.
Her background includes work with children, adolescents, and women navigating life transitions. That experience informs practical ways to address self-esteem, career worries, ADHD-related struggles, and family challenges. She can also support concerns tied to grief, chronic illness, and questions around control or impulsivity.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and steady. Jamie offers straightforward feedback, short-term strategies, and longer-term planning when needed. The focus stays on what a parent or individual can do next to feel more capable and less overwhelmed.
How Jamie’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what truly matters to them and take small actions toward those values, even when hard feelings are present. It is often useful for parents and adults dealing with stress, anxiety, or issues tied to life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and functioning. This method is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and problems with motivation or self-esteem.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build momentum. It pairs well with the other approaches when someone needs support getting started or staying motivated.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jamie treats the choice as collaborative and will tailor methods based on a person's goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. Together they map out practical steps and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy parenting schedule and allow follow-up between meetings. The variety also gives flexibility for people who prefer brief check-ins or longer conversations depending on what helps most.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
