About Jamie

Jamie Schlichenmayer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, anger, eating or sleeping issues, self esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue. Jamie lists Family and parenting among her focus areas and works with LGBT concerns as well.

Jamie keeps therapy practical and straightforward. She listens first, then helps people name what is happening and choose small steps forward.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and based on the situation a person brings that day. She aims for clear tools people can use between sessions. Her style blends skills training and relational work.

Jamie uses cognitive behavioral techniques to shift thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on mindfulness to help calm the body and build attention. Jamie has training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, Motivational Interviewing, and other trauma-informed methods.

She believes the brain and body can recover and that learning new responses is part of that healing. With 11 years of experience, Jamie pairs practical skills with empathy and a down-to-earth sense of humor. People who prefer clear guidance and real-life strategies often find her approach accessible.

She practices in Colorado and offers services in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice patterns in how they connect with others and learn safer ways to relate; it focuses on understanding relationship habits and repairing trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and habits, and it works well for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) blends skill-building in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for strong emotional reactions or anger.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are common as the work progresses, and the plan evolves based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for short check-ins or when planning is needed between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting schedules, work days, and busy lives while keeping the focus on usable skills and steady progress.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
