About Jamie
Jamie Gordon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota. She brings ten years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, addiction, and big life changes. Her style is warm and direct, with an emphasis on practical steps that can be used between sessions.
Jamie creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through their concerns. She focuses on what’s happening now and on skills that reduce distress. Conversations often include clear strategies for sleep, coping with stress, and managing impulsive urges.
Her background includes work with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, and substance-related problems. She uses several therapy approaches to match a person’s needs, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness skills. This mix helps people tackle symptoms and build daily routines that support recovery.
Jamie also pays attention to relationship patterns such as codependency, communication problems, and abandonment concerns. She helps people notice recurring behaviors and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.
People who prefer straightforward, skills-focused sessions tend to do well with her. She invites each person to set realistic goals and to test small changes between sessions. The emphasis is on steady progress and practical tools that fit everyday life.
Approaches that guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients clarify what matters most. This approach is useful when you want a supportive space to sort out next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep issues.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, brings skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. These skills are often helpful for people who struggle with impulsivity, intense emotions, or relationship patterns like codependency.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped before to choose or blend methods. That decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins from different locations. Different formats also suit different needs - for example, shorter phone check-ins can fit a work break, while video sessions allow for face-to-face conversation and skill practice.
