About Jamie

Jamie Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who focuses on family and parenting related concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and related issues. She uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through stressful moments, improve self-esteem, and cope with big life changes.

Her style aims to be warm and down-to-earth so parents can talk about hard things without feeling judged. Jamie trained in clinical mental health counseling after working as an elementary teacher and seeing children struggle with anxiety and safety concerns.

Background and approach

That classroom experience shaped her interest in mental health and in supporting people across different life stages. She earned a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Louisiana Tech University and holds licensure as an LPC in Texas. In sessions she combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy.

That means conversations are guided by the client's concerns, practical steps are identified to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and short-term goals are set for visible progress. She also draws on trauma-focused approaches when past harm affects current functioning.

Jamie has seven years of experience in the mental health field and has supported people facing issues such as ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, relationship challenges, postpartum depression, compassion fatigue, and social anxiety. She aims to create a calm space where parents can make clear plans and try new ways of coping. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through online formats.

Prospective clients in Texas can expect a straightforward intake process and a collaborative plan for moving forward.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathy, and helps people identify what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, then uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and short-term goals to create visible progress in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss these methods with each person and pick what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as therapy progresses.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit support into a busy life. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, let people use familiar spaces like home, and allow various ways to communicate depending on comfort and situation. Licensed professionals can adapt the approaches above to work well across these formats.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
