About Jamie
Jamie OConnor is a Wisconsin Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and challenges tied to family life. Sessions are offered in English and Jamie accepts international clients.
Jamie helps people talk through relationship and family conflict in clear, practical terms. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, or difficulties with intimacy, self-esteem, sleep, and eating. She lists ADHD and career concerns among the issues she addresses, along with specific family topics such as blended family problems, adoption and foster care, and family-of-origin issues.
Her approach combines several methods. Jamie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice thoughts and focus on workable values. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when looking to change patterns of thinking and behavior. Client-Centered and Mindfulness approaches shape how she listens and helps people notice their present experience.
In practical sessions she focuses on what can be done between meetings as well as in them. Conversations aim to clarify goals, name small steps, and test what helps. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the talk and the plan are adjusted as needs change.
Jamie is straightforward about the work and about matching methods to a person's life. She works with common family pressures such as caregiving stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and commitment concerns. People often come for help with boundaries, codependency, or the strain of parenting.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, parenting strain, and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and works well for anxiety, mood problems, sleep, and eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to each person's experience, which supports clearer goals and steady pacing in sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jamie will collaborate with each person to try methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day limits. That may mean starting with short, practical steps and adapting as needs change.
Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit meetings into a busy week, avoid travel time, or have shorter check-ins that work during a lunch break. Others prefer sessions that allow full conversation and exercises similar to in-person work. The focus online is on making therapy practical and usable within everyday life.
