About Jamie

Jamie Clausen is a licensed mental health counselor with 10 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood challenges. She focuses on clear, practical conversations so clients can take small steps that feel doable. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at making therapy feel approachable for a worried parent or anyone under pressure.

In sessions she centers the person's experience and listens for what matters most.

Background and approach

Jamie draws on Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and change unhelpful patterns. She also uses Client-Centered techniques to keep the work grounded in each person's values and priorities. When a problem feels overwhelming, Jamie introduces Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to spot thinking patterns that feed anxiety or low mood.

She combines those tools with Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices to build emotion regulation and tolerance for difficult moments. This mix supports work on panic, sleep problems, and compulsive behaviors. Jamie also supports people dealing with relationship strain, communication problems, parenting stress, grief, and substance concerns.

She helps people identify what they want to change and practice new ways of responding. Sessions focus on concrete skills alongside exploring personal meaning and life purpose. Jamie practices in Washington and offers sessions in English.

She works with individuals on issues like self-esteem, impulsivity, social anxiety, postpartum depression, and compassion fatigue, tailoring work to each person's goals and pace.

Online session options

How narrative and practical tools work online

Jamie uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice the stories that shape their reactions and then try out alternative ways of understanding themselves. That work can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, life purpose concerns, and identity questions. Client-Centered Therapy forms the backbone of her approach by keeping sessions focused on the client's values and pacing rather than following a rigid agenda.

She also brings in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques when a person wants concrete ways to reduce anxiety, manage panic, or change unhelpful thinking. Together these approaches let clients both reframe patterns and practice specific skills. Finding the right combination of approaches is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together what feels most helpful based on goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful when visual cues matter and a fuller conversation is needed. Phone can work well when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter exchanges, homework check-ins, or days when writing feels easier. These options let people fit therapy into busy lives while working with a licensed professional from Washington.
