About Jamie
Jamie OConnor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with 13 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns as well as parenting difficulties and related life changes.
Jamie uses clear, structured approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with acceptance and mindfulness strategies to create practical steps clients can try between sessions. Conversations focus on what is causing distress now and what small experiments might help.
Clients often bring concerns such as depression, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, eating or sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, and ADHD. Jamie also addresses attachment and family-of-origin issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, blended family challenges, communication and control problems, and codependency or commitment worries.
Her style blends client-centered listening with goal-focused work. Sessions typically include identifying patterns, testing alternatives, and building coping skills. Where helpful, discussions look at past experiences that shape current reactions while staying focused on practical steps forward.
Jamie aims to make therapy understandable and doable. She asks clear questions, suggests concrete tools, and checks how those tools fit each person’s day-to-day life. People who want straightforward guidance and practiceable changes will find this approach direct and action-oriented.
How CBT, ACT and Client-Centered Work Remotely
Jamie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thought patterns and behavior cycles that keep problems going. CBT focuses on testing practical alternatives and building small habits that change how situations feel. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to act in line with what matters most. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection so the person’s own goals guide the work.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try methods in session, and adjust based on what helps most. That process usually combines skill practice, short in-session experiments, and agreed homework to see what makes a real difference in daily life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try strategies between sessions where they actually live and work, which can speed up practical problem solving.
