About Jamie

Dr. Jamie Marshall is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of clinical experience in Michigan. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationships, and handle parenting and family concerns.

Her approach aims to make it easier for someone who is worried or overwhelmed to talk about what matters most to them. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Dr.

Marshall creates space for clients to say what they’re feeling without fear of judgment.

Background and approach

She emphasizes clear communication and small, doable steps toward change rather than long lists of abstract goals. Her work often centers on everyday family and relationship challenges. That includes blended family issues, divorce and separation, and fatherhood concerns.

She also helps with communication problems, infidelity, and rebuilding trust after conflict. Dr. Marshall draws on several therapy approaches depending on what a person needs.

She uses client-centered methods to follow a person’s lead, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking, and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals. Motivational interviewing is used when clients want help finding the drive to make a change.

Sessions are offered in English and are aimed at adults dealing with life transitions, loneliness, self-esteem problems, and issues around money or multicultural stress. Her style is collaborative and practical, geared to help people find workable steps they can use in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Dr. Marshall commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following a person’s priorities, helping someone feel heard and understood so they can work through family and relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions, and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns that contribute to anxiety or low mood.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing when people want help finding the motivation to make changes. That approach uses gentle, guided conversation to explore ambivalence and build readiness for action. Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss goals and preferences and tailor methods to what seems most useful.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule. These options let people connect from home, follow up between sessions with messages, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them. The focus is on practical support and flexible access so clients can work on real-life changes regardless of location.

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.
