About Jamie
Jamie Gaskin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who focuses on relationships, trauma, and stress. She centers sessions on attachment and emotion, helping people get clearer about how their past shapes current reactions. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at practical changes rather than jargon.
Jamie brings seven years of counseling experience to her work. She has worked with people who have experienced significant trauma and with those navigating relationship strain, parenting stress, substance concerns, mood challenges, and identity questions.
Background and approach
She helps clients name the patterns that keep repeating and teaches ways to break those cycles. In sessions she uses an attachment-informed approach drawn from emotionally focused work. That means looking at how early bonds and learned coping show up now.
She validates what made sense at the time, and then helps clients practice new, healthier responses. She also uses client-centered methods and motivational interviewing to meet people where they are. Mindfulness strategies are woven in to help with anxiety, anger, and sleep problems.
Together these methods aim to reduce worry and build better communication and self-understanding. Jamie works with a broad range of concerns including depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, addiction, eating and body-image issues, intimacy and kink-related topics, and compassion fatigue. She supports people coping with life changes, blended family stress, adoption and attachment questions, and dissociation.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Attachment and Emotion-Focused Care Online
Jamie uses attachment-based and emotionally focused approaches to help people understand how early relationships shape present reactions. Attachment-based work looks at the patterns learned from caregivers and how those patterns affect current relationships and self-soothing. Emotionally focused work centers on identifying and naming feelings, then learning new ways to respond in close relationships to reduce conflict and build connection. She also draws on client-centered techniques that prioritize the person's experience and agency. That means the therapist listens closely, reflects what matters most, and helps set goals that fit each person's needs. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process and she will work with clients to find what feels most helpful for their goals and preferences. Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations and are useful for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be simpler when internet bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins or to get support between longer sessions. These options help people access consistent care while balancing work, family, and travel.Questions people ask
