About Jamie

Jamie Gordon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota with ten years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, down-to-earth presence for people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and other challenges. Conversations focus on what matters most to each person and on practical steps that can be used right away.

Her style is client-centered and compassionate. She listens first, then helps clients set clear, doable goals.

Background and approach

Sessions are aimed at building coping skills, improving communication, and reducing harmful patterns that get in the way of daily life. Jamie uses several evidence-based approaches. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques help with emotional regulation and impulse control. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in to support commitment to change. Work with her often includes short-term focus on specific problems and longer-term work on values and life direction.

Practical homework and simple skill practice are common parts of the process. The aim is progress that feels real and fits into a busy life. Jamie also addresses family and parenting concerns and related areas such as communication problems, codependency, grief, and trauma.

Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Jamie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that follow. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and many everyday patterns that interfere with functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers tools for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive behavior, and improving relationships through skills like distress tolerance and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Progress is collaborative, and techniques can be adjusted as the work develops so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy with Jamie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options let people fit sessions into busy schedules, get support from home, and use brief check-ins or longer conversations as needed. The aim is to make it easier to practice skills and stay connected to the therapeutic plan.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
