About Jamie
Jamie Blakeman is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with 16 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, grief, and issues with sleep, eating, or substance use.
Jamie focuses on helping people manage co-occurring challenges and day-to-day problems that interfere with life. She uses straightforward conversation and practical approaches to identify what is causing strain and what can change. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and build skills people can use between meetings.
Her work draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. That mix lets her shift between exploring how someone experiences a problem and teaching specific skills to reduce distress.
In sessions Jamie guides people through small experiments and practical tools. She helps clients notice patterns, try new responses, and track what helps. The emphasis is on concrete steps that fit daily life rather than long explanations.
People who come to her often want clearer ways to manage intense emotions, improve communication, reduce anxiety, or handle parenting pressures. The focus is on steady, manageable changes and strengthening personal resources over time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Jamie often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical changes in behavior to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or depression. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.She also draws on client-centered methods to listen for each persons priorities and help them set realistic goals. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust techniques as progress is reviewed.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists can adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice to fit remote sessions so people can continue making steady progress while managing daily responsibilities.
