About Jamie
Jamie Clausen is a licensed mental health counselor with ten years of experience supporting people through common parenting stresses and related life changes. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that parents can use between sessions. Jamie works with individuals who are juggling mood concerns, anxiety, grieving changes, or coping with burnout and compassion fatigue.
She favors a client-centered way of working, which means she listens first and adapts to what each person needs.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices are woven into sessions when they help with emotion regulation and staying present. In earlier roles Jamie practiced in community mental health agencies across Washington.
That work brought experience with mood disorders, trauma, substance concerns, and parenting stress. Her background makes her comfortable addressing issues like postpartum depression, sleep problems, and impulsivity that can affect day-to-day family life. Sessions focus on short-term strategies and ongoing skills building.
Jamie helps people set realistic goals, improve communication, and manage strong emotions. She supports clients working through guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Therapy is offered in English and delivered online by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Jamie is licensed in Washington as an LMHC and uses a collaborative approach to find what works for each person.

Online approaches that build practical parenting skills
Jamie often uses client-centered therapy, which centers sessions on what matters most to the person. The therapist listens, reflects concerns back, and adapts the pace and focus to each parent's priorities. This approach helps clarify goals and set manageable steps for change.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, mood shifts, and patterns that make daily parenting harder. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are added when emotion regulation or impulsivity interfere with relationships or routines; those skills teach grounding, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.
Finding the right mix of methods is treated as a team effort. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques in session, and adjust based on what feels helpful. Clients and the therapist set goals together and review progress as skills are practiced between meetings.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth needs. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, coaching, and follow-up without scheduling a full session. These formats help people weave therapy into busy parenting schedules.
