Jamie Gordon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota. She brings ten years of clinical experience supporting people who are struggling with mood, stress, addiction, and relationship concerns. Her style is warm and straightforward. She focuses on helping people build practical skills that fit their daily life.

Jamie uses a client-centered approach that starts with listening. She helps clients identify what matters most and sets small, doable goals.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques and mindfulness to teach coping skills.

Sessions are focused on what a person needs now. Jamie helps people break problems into manageable steps and practices new skills between meetings. She works with issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem. She also supports people facing life transitions, relationship struggles, and questions about purpose and meaning.

Her background as a LICSW means she combines clinical experience with a focus on practical problem solving. She uses motivational interviewing when people feel stuck or unsure about change. Jamie aims to make therapy a collaborative effort where the person’s values guide the work.

How Jamie’s approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working at a person's pace. In online sessions this means the therapist focuses on understanding each person's concerns and priorities before suggesting changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective ones; it works well for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and many everyday problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with anger, impulsivity, and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jamie collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life demands. She may blend CBT, DBT skills, mindfulness exercises, and motivational interviewing so the plan matches what a person needs in real life.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief coaching, homework check-ins, or when written reflection feels easier. These options help fit therapy into a busy schedule and allow ongoing support between meetings.
