Jamie OConnor, LCSW - Therapist in Wisconsin

About Jamie

Jamie OConnor is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people work through stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, parenting challenges, and family problems. She draws on 13 years of clinical experience in Wisconsin to create a straightforward, respectful space for conversation.

Jamie phrases things plainly and focuses on what will help a person or family feel a bit better each week. She adapts the pace and methods to fit each person’s situation.

Background and approach

That might mean learning new ways to manage anxious thoughts, practicing clearer communication, or finding small behavior changes that reduce daily overwhelm. Sessions center on specific, doable steps rather than abstract ideas. Jamie aims to be direct and compassionate at the same time.

She listens for what is most urgent and helps prioritize what to address first. The work can involve looking at past patterns, building new habits, and finding practical solutions for current struggles. Her background includes training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness approaches, psychodynamic ideas, and client-centered care.

This mix lets her pull from different methods depending on the issue and the person’s preferences. People who reach out can expect collaborative planning, clear goals, and attention to real-life constraints like time and family demands. Jamie emphasizes steady progress - small steps that add up to meaningful change over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care for families

Jamie blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice what matters and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. ACT focuses on values and taking meaningful action even when uncomfortable feelings are present, which can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. CBT teaches practical skills to challenge patterns of thinking and build new habits, useful for managing depression, anger, sleep problems, and day-to-day stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jamie will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your situation. She works collaboratively so that the plan evolves as needs change and progress is made.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care accessible around family schedules and geographic limits. These options allow flexible check-ins, homework support between sessions, and easier coordination for busy households. Licensed professionals can use these formats to carry out many of the same techniques as in-person work, while fitting therapy into real life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
