About Jamie
Jamie Gordon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota with ten years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and parenting strain. Jamie also addresses trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, and mood concerns including bipolar disorder.
Her approach centers on client-centered work and practical tools. She uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices are part of the toolbox for managing intense emotions and improving attention to the present.
Jamie favors short, clear steps people can try between sessions. She brings motivational interviewing into conversations about substance use and other behavior change to help people clarify what they want and how to get there. Sessions tend to focus on specific, manageable goals rather than long lists of tasks.
She pays attention to how family situations and relationships affect daily life and decision making. That includes issues like codependency, communication problems, control struggles, and the stress of parenting. Jamie helps people talk through patterns at home and build practical strategies for change.
Over the course of a decade she has worked with many types of mood and trauma-related problems. People who choose her typically want straightforward techniques, clearer priorities, and help translating insight into everyday routines.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It aims to make space for people to describe their situation and decide what changes to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and some stress-related problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit the client's goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That may mean trying CBT techniques for a while, adding DBT skills to manage strong emotions, or using motivational interviewing when behavior change is the priority.
The practical benefit of online care is fitting sessions into a busy schedule. Confirm the session formats before booking since the profile does not list them explicitly. Online options can make it easier to keep regular appointments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around work, errands, and parenting duties.
