About Jamie
Jamie Taylor is a licensed clinician with six years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and life changes. She holds an IL LCPC and practices in Illinois. Her work focuses on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable.
She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about guilt, shame, and attachment wounds. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Jamie listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try different approaches.
Background and approach
Clients come for help with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and stress from big changes. She also supports people facing issues such as compassion fatigue, bipolar mood swings, intrusive thoughts, or compulsive behaviors. Her additional focus includes abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, and problems tied to caregiving or first responder work.
Jamie uses a mix of therapy styles to match the situation. She pulls from cognitive-behavioral methods to shift unhelpful thinking and from acceptance-based strategies to build tolerance for difficult feelings. For trauma, she may incorporate EMDR alongside skills-based tools.
Her sessions tend to be straightforward and skills-focused, with attention to emotion and relationship patterns. Jamie helps people build routines and coping plans they can use between meetings. She works by breaking larger problems into small, doable steps.
People who prefer direct, practical therapy that still respects their personal story often find this approach helpful. Jamie frames goals clearly and checks in regularly on progress and setbacks.
Online approaches that match real life needs
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It encourages choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build new habits, useful for anxiety, OCD, mood disorders, and impulsivity.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact. It can be used alongside skills training for people with trauma and dissociation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Choices are revisited as progress unfolds so care stays aligned with what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when working on emotions and skills. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or shorter messages between meetings.
