Jamie Dimacchia, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Jamie

Jamie Dimacchia is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida. She focuses on common family and parenting concerns as well as stress, anxiety, depression, and other everyday struggles that affect parents and family life. Jamie has ten years of clinical experience and encourages a collaborative pace that fits each person’s needs.

She earned a Bachelor of Arts in psychology with a minor in conflict management from Kent State University.

Background and approach

She then completed a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Cleveland State University and is credentialed as an LMHC in Florida (FL LMHC MH15497). Jamie helps people work through grief, trauma, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and difficulties with sleep, anger, or self-esteem. She has spent years supporting adults facing family relationship issues, parenting challenges, and life transitions.

Her approach is practical and centered on what someone wants to change. In sessions she aims to be open and empathic. She involves clients in decisions about pace, frequency, and goals.

That means plans get adjusted to real life and the person in front of her. She also continues learning about cultural, religious, and spiritual factors that shape each person’s experience. The goal is to respect where people come from while working toward clearer steps and healthier routines.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying personal values and taking actions that match those values. It helps when people feel stuck by fear or avoidance and want practical steps to move toward what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors to find patterns that increase stress or anxiety and then tests new ways of thinking and acting to improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to the client’s goals, preferences, and life context and then suggest methods to try. Decisions about which approach to use are made together and adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for busy families and parents. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions give flexibility when schedules are tight, and live chat or text-based messaging can support short check-ins or ongoing guidance between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into real life while keeping the focus on progress and usable tools.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
