About Jamie
Jamie OConnor is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of practice in Wisconsin. She focuses on clear, practical conversation and helps people find ways to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strains. She aims to meet each person where they are and to tailor sessions to their needs. Jamie approaches work with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Jamie draws on several therapeutic styles to match how someone prefers to work. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas to help people clarify values and take action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Client-centered and mindfulness approaches keep the focus on the person’s experience in the moment.
Her background includes supporting people with parenting and family concerns, grief and loss, addictions, trauma and abuse, and identity issues including LGBT matters. She also helps with intimacy struggles, self-esteem, and life transitions such as divorce or caregiving changes. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, blended family problems, abandonment themes, and body image.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Jamie works to build a plan that fits daily life and personal goals. She encourages small, doable steps and checks in on what’s working and what needs to change.
People often seek help when coping feels heavy or routines are disrupted. Jamie’s aim is to support and empower clients as they make changes, one step at a time.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people decide what matters most and take values-based actions; it is useful for stress, life changes, and moving through avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behavior and testing small changes to improve mood and functioning. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the person’s own goals to guide the pace and focus of sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to explore preferences, goals, and what feels most helpful. That may mean trying different techniques and checking in often to refine the plan together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed. It also lets people meet with licensed professionals from different locations, which can be helpful for those coordinating care or facing life transitions.
