About Jamie
Jamie Finkelstein is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience working with people in Colorado and beyond. She aims to make therapy feel approachable and clear for someone who is worried or overwhelmed. Sessions focus on practical next steps as well as understanding what matters to each person.
Jamie offers a calm, affirming space where people can talk about anxiety, depression, trauma, and issues related to LGBTQ life.
Background and approach
She also helps with stress, addictions, sleep problems, anger, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person’s needs. Her practice draws on Narrative therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive approaches.
That mix lets Jamie help people rewrite difficult stories, notice unhelpful thoughts, and take small actions that reflect their values. Work in sessions often includes skill-building and making plans to try between meetings. Jamie has provided counseling across several states and brings practical experience to issues like parenting strain, career changes, chronic illness, and caregiving stress.
She pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns, including abandonment or blended family concerns. This makes her work useful for people wanting clearer communication and more stable routines. Sessions are offered in English and are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Jamie frames therapy as a collaborative process and helps people set realistic goals they can test in daily life.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Jamie directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How Narrative and ACT shape online sessions
Jamie uses Narrative therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, and to open up new, more helpful narratives. This approach can be useful for identity questions, life transitions, and resolving patterns that keep repeating. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which blends noticing difficult thoughts and feelings with choosing actions that reflect personal values. ACT is practical for managing anxiety, stress, and motivation during life changes. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jamie treats approach as a conversation and will help clients pick methods that match their goals and comfort level. That means trying different techniques together and adjusting based on what helps. Online sessions offer flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short coaching-style support, or when fitting a session into a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and daily life while keeping the focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and steps people can try between sessions.Common questions about this listing
