About Jamie
Jamie Gordon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota with ten years of clinical experience. She uses a calm, down-to-earth style and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood problems, addiction concerns, and ADHD. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused so practical steps can be taken between sessions.
She prefers a client-centered way of working, which means the person’s goals guide the plan. She combines that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and motivational strategies are used too when they fit the person’s needs. In sessions she helps people build coping skills, address relationship and communication problems, and work through grief, trauma, or substance use issues. She pays attention to how patterns like impulsivity, isolation, or shame affect daily life and offers tools to change those patterns.
Her approach is practical and collaborative. She breaks larger goals into small, doable steps and checks in on what is working. Many clients focus on sleep, anger, self-esteem, or navigating life changes.
Jamie meets people where they are and moves at a realistic pace. She aims to help people find balance and recover a sense of purpose without overwhelming them.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person and their goals. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client set goals that feel meaningful. This approach works well for people who want guidance paced to their readiness.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions CBT often includes short exercises and practical homework to run between meetings, which helps track progress over time. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood regulation.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and urges. Online DBT-style work typically teaches breathing and grounding techniques, distress-tolerance skills, and communication strategies that can be practiced in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or blend methods based on goals, strengths, and how they prefer to work. That collaboration may shift as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for brief check-ins, or text-based messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, try shorter check-ins between longer sessions, and keep momentum while working toward goals.
