About Jamie

Jamie Hess is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She began her career working with adolescents in school settings and brings that practical background to her current work. She focuses on helping people find motivation, build confidence, and set realistic goals.

Jamie uses straightforward conversation to help clients make a plan and follow through. She listens for strengths and helps people notice progress.

Background and approach

Her approach emphasizes processing feelings so clients can see their situation more clearly. She supports people in improving self-esteem and developing a growth mindset. That can include building resilience after setbacks and creating step-by-step goals to reach practical outcomes.

Jamie tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Her areas of focus include relationship challenges, stress and anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-love and forgiveness. She also works with career questions, coping with life changes, and concerns like sleeping problems and seasonal mood shifts.

Jamie believes everyone should be treated with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She aims to make the first steps feel manageable and affirms the courage it takes to begin therapy.

Approaches that fit online parenting and life work

Jamie draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses helps people set clear, achievable goals and break them into small steps; this works well for motivation, career planning, and building confidence. Another approach emphasizes recognizing and processing emotions so clients can gain clarity about difficult situations and reduce overwhelm; that often helps with anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jamie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust techniques over time. That shared decision-making helps ensure therapy matches what the client needs in daily life.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit work into a busy week. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging give flexible options for check-ins, coaching-style support, or shorter conversations between longer sessions. These formats make it possible to keep momentum, practice new skills in real time, and return to therapy without long travel times.
