About Jamie
Jamie OConnor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with 13 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and parenting challenges. Sessions address common struggles like depression, grief, addictions, and issues with self-esteem or sleep.
Her approach blends practical strategies with attention to deeper patterns. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice values and act in ways that matter to them. Client-Centered Therapy means conversations are shaped around the person, not a fixed script.
Jamie pays attention to how early family roles and expectations continue to affect life now. That includes family of origin issues, attachment concerns, blended family problems, and communication or control struggles. She also works with adoption and foster care questions, abandonment, and caregiver stress.
Therapy sessions tend to be straightforward and conversation-based. People can expect to talk through current problems, try short exercises or mindfulness practices between meetings, and set small, realistic steps to test out new ways of relating.
Her work also covers intimacy-related issues, body image, commitment and codependency concerns, and career or life-change coping. If someone wants to address ADHD symptoms alongside emotional concerns, she includes that in the same practical framework. For people who are LGBT, she offers support that recognizes identity-related stressors.
Approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and decisions about relationships or parenting.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's concerns and pace. It supports people who need space to sort through emotions and make practical plans for change.
Figuring out which of these approaches fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to match methods to goals, preferences, and what shows up in early sessions. That may mean combining elements from different approaches over time.
