About Jamie
Jamie Finkelstein is a licensed professional counselor with 11 years of experience based in Colorado. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or struggles around identity and relationships. Jamie aims to make the first steps feel manageable and clear so parents and adults can decide what they want to try next.
Jamie keeps sessions direct and compassionate. She listens for what matters most and helps people shape simple, practical steps they can use between meetings.
Background and approach
That might mean learning new ways to handle strong emotions, trying different communication skills, or setting boundaries that protect energy and focus. Her work draws on methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused and Client-Centered approaches. She blends these tools to fit the person in front of her rather than using a single script.
The focus is on real-world change - better sleep, clearer priorities, or calmer reactions to stress. Jamie also supports concerns such as addiction, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, intimacy issues, and the effects of trauma or caregiver burden. She pays attention to attachment and family background when those patterns show up in relationships or daily life.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Jamie works with each person to set goals and track progress in ways that feel doable and relevant.
Therapy methods you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps clarify values and build committed actions that move someone toward a life they find meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts influence feelings and behavior; it offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and improve mood and sleep. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, often using short skills practice between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. Together they decide which methods feel most useful and practical for day-to-day life.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for a typical counseling session, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection or daily skill practice. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and to keep therapy consistent over time.
