Jamie Finkelstein, LPC

Jamie Finkelstein is a licensed professional counselor with 11 years of experience based in Colorado. She creates a calm, affirming space for people to talk through hard feelings and figure out what matters to them most.

She focuses on practical steps that can be used between sessions. Jamie uses clear strategies to help manage anxiety, stress, mood shifts, and sleep problems. She also supports people facing trauma, addiction struggles, grief, and identity-related concerns including LGBT issues.

Her approach balances structure and empathy. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Sessions often involve setting small goals, practicing new skills, and checking what works in daily life.

Jamie also addresses relationships, parenting stress, career strain, and compassion fatigue. She helps people cope with major life changes such as divorce, chronic illness, adoption and blended family challenges, and caregiving strain. Her work pays attention to both emotional patterns and concrete problems.

People meet her for short-term help and longer-term change. Jamie emphasizes clear communication, measurable steps, and respect for each person’s background and beliefs. She aims to help clients build resilience and make choices that fit their values.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

CBT helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. Online sessions can include homework, thought records, and practical behavior experiments that people try between meetings to see what works.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and accepting uncomfortable feelings while taking action toward life goals. In teletherapy ACT exercises often include mindfulness practice, values clarification, and small committed actions tailored to daily life.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes being heard and understood. Through video, phone, or messaging, this approach supports people in exploring feelings and finding their own solutions with a therapist who listens without judgment.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Jamie will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress and needs become clearer.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions reduce bandwidth needs, live chat can provide quick check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on real-world changes.
