About Jamie
Jamie Gordon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and parenting challenges. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at practical change rather than jargon.
She keeps sessions client-centered and respectful. Conversations focus on what matters most to each person and on small, useful steps they can try between meetings. Jamie uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
When substance use or impulsive behaviors are present, she brings motivational interviewing into the work to help clarify goals and strengthen motivation for change. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and improving relationships when intense feelings or conflict get in the way.
People seeking help for grief, trauma, sleep problems, anger, ADHD concerns, or shifts in mood can expect a mix of practical skills and reflective conversation. She also addresses issues tied to abandonment, codependency, control, and communication problems. Jamie describes her role as walking alongside clients while they build resilience and balance.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to the person’s needs. She works in English and draws on her ten years of clinical practice to support gradual, realistic change.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Client-centered therapy puts the person's goals and values front and center. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping people choose the next steps that make sense for their life. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and mood shifts.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels useful. That means treatment can combine skills training, motivational work, and mindful practices as needed rather than sticking to one method. Online formats make this flexible work easier to fit into daily life. Video calls let people work face-to-face when that helps, phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, and live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins or jotting down thoughts between appointments. These options help sessions happen around work, school, or parenting demands and make it simpler to maintain momentum between meetings.
