About Jamie

Jamie Giunta is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with over 15 years of experience. She helps people cope with stress and anxiety, work through trauma and abuse, and handle family challenges. Her approach is direct and practical, focused on building motivation, self-esteem, and confidence so clients can move forward.

In sessions she treats common life struggles like depression, isolation, and workplace stress. She also addresses caregiver strain, communication problems, divorce and separation, impulsivity, midlife shifts, and women's issues.

Background and approach

Conversations are straightforward and aim to find realistic steps that fit each person’s life. Jamie uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and keep going.

These tools are mixed to match what a client needs in the moment. She emphasizes clients' strengths and personal knowledge of their situation. The therapist role is to listen, reflect, and offer practical strategies rather than to dictate solutions.

Many people find that small, steady changes build confidence over time. Therapy with Jamie often focuses on clear goals and measurable steps. Parents and caregivers looking for guidance around family and parenting concerns may find this approach useful.

Sessions are aimed at helping people feel more capable and less overwhelmed.

How Jamie’s Approaches Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and replacing them with more useful ones. It is often used for anxiety, depression, worry, and stress-related problems and provides practical skills to practice between sessions.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and strengthens commitment to those goals. It is conversational and supports momentum when someone feels stuck or uncertain about making a change.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. Jamie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest which tools to use. The plan is collaborative and can shift as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. These formats make it easier to meet from home, during breaks, or between errands. Many people appreciate the flexibility to choose the way of meeting that feels most comfortable while working on concrete skills and motivation.

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
