About Jamie
Jamie Finkelstein is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical experience and a practice based in Colorado. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, issues related to LGBT identity, addiction concerns, and parenting strains. Jamie also helps people dealing with grief, intimacy struggles, sleep problems, self-esteem concerns, career stress, and major life changes.
Her approach emphasizes clear, practical support rather than jargon. She uses evidence-informed methods to help clients name problems, try new behaviors, and track what helps. Sessions focus on improving communication, managing strong emotions like anger, and building day-to-day coping skills for overwhelm and burnout.
Jamie draws on several therapy methods depending on what fits the person in front of her. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and increase willingness for change. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to manage emotional intensity. Emotionally-Focused and Client-Centered ideas guide how she attends to relationship patterns and personal meaning.
People come to Jamie when parenting, relationship tensions, blended family challenges, or caretaking responsibilities make life harder. She also supports those facing abandonment, attachment struggles, adoption and foster care issues, or chronic illness and caregiver stress. Her work often includes practical coaching around communication and setting limits.
Sessions are delivered in English. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Jamie uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change mood and functioning. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling interpersonal conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences with each person and suggests methods that fit those needs. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to try and adjust the plan over time based on what is helpful.
