Dr. Jamie Spohn, MD - Therapist in Maryland

About Jamie

Dr. Jamie Spohn is a licensed psychologist (MD) who uses a cognitive-behavioral approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and mood concerns. She draws on 11 years of clinical experience and balances a supportive, direct style to guide clear steps forward.

Her work emphasizes practical skills and small changes that make daily life easier for parents and adults. Dr. Spohn practices in Maryland and provides care in English.

Background and approach

She sees a wide range of concerns including depression, self-esteem, grief, anger, and attention difficulties such as ADHD. She also addresses blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, traumatic brain injury, and women’s health matters. These are approached with targeted strategies and attention to the person’s strengths.

Dr. Spohn blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with elements of motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas when they fit the situation. She offers clear guidance and works collaboratively to set achievable goals.

Feedback is welcome and each plan is adjusted to fit what the person finds helpful. For messaging and scheduling, she typically responds once or twice a day on weekdays and does not usually reply on weekends or holidays.

Urgent messaging is reserved for immediate life-or-death crises and may not receive a response until the next business day unless it meets that urgent criterion. When live sessions are scheduled, she currently offers live text sessions in 30-minute blocks, in addition to other online formats. Clients may expect a response within 24-48 hours Monday through Friday for routine messages.

Practical approaches and online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that make problems worse and learning new, practical skills to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and parenting challenges by teaching clear tools to use day to day.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to help people find their own reasons to change. It works well when someone feels stuck or unsure about making adjustments in parenting, health, or life routines.

Dr. Spohn treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose and adapt methods so the work fits the person’s life and responsibilities.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and adults. Video calls and phone sessions allow scheduled, focused time while live chat and text messaging let clients check in between sessions and get feedback on real-life moments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around school, work, and caregiving duties.

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.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.
