Jamie Clausen , LMHC

Jamie Clausen is a licensed mental health counselor with a decade of experience working in community mental health agencies. She draws on a client-centered philosophy that prioritizes the individual's experience while integrating practical, evidence-informed techniques to address symptoms and improve daily functioning. Jamie commonly supports people facing depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, and anxiety, tailoring interventions to each person's history and goals.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Jamie blends cognitive behavioral therapy - which helps identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns - with dialectical behavior therapy strategies that build emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. She also incorporates mindfulness practices and narrative therapy elements to help clients make meaning of their experiences and cultivate greater self-awareness.

Jamie additionally focuses on family and communication concerns, working with individuals to strengthen relationships and improve problem solving in interpersonal contexts. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, practical tools, and respectful attention to each client’s priorities, with the aim of supporting recovery, resilience, and clearer paths forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jamie combines client-centered therapy with practical, skills-based methods to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a collaborative relationship in which the therapist listens closely and supports the client's own goals - this approach is helpful for improving self-esteem, clarifying values, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering structured tools to manage anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds strategies for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier interpersonal interactions, which can be especially useful for intense emotions and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Jamie works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Over time she adjusts strategies based on what is most effective and what the client finds most useful.

Online therapy with Jamie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Working remotely makes it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy times or life changes, and allows clients and licensed professionals to focus on practical progress in a format that suits them.
