About Jamie

Jamie Finkelstein is a licensed professional counselor with 11 years of experience based in Colorado. She creates a calm, affirming space where people can talk about what keeps them up at night, including sleep problems, anxiety, and stress. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping people feel heard and safer with themselves.

Jamie works with concerns such as depression, trauma, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, caregiver stress, grief, and career challenges. Sleep and rest are included among the issues she addresses, with attention to how they connect to mood and daily functioning.

Her approach blends practical tools and open conversation. Jamie uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to help people notice patterns, try new actions, and align choices with their values. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when emotional regulation or relationship repair is needed.

Clients can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together and progress is reviewed often. Sessions emphasize concrete strategies for coping, clearer communication skills, and small, doable steps toward better sleep and wellbeing. Jamie aims to empower people to make changes that fit their real life.

Her work honors each person’s background and identity, including LGBTQ+ experience. Conversations focus on practical next steps, building resilience, and strengthening skills for everyday challenges.

Therapeutic approaches for online work and better sleep

Jamie often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions even when thoughts or feelings are uncomfortable, which can be useful for managing anxiety and sleep struggles. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors, a common approach when addressing sleeplessness, mood, and stress.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the client's experience and priorities. That approach gives space for people to set the pace and topics that matter most, such as relationships, identity, or coping with caregiving demands. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process; Jamie collaborates with each person to decide what fits their goals and preferences.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking. Practical benefits often include easier scheduling, fitting sessions into a busy day, and choosing quieter surroundings for deeper focus. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep regular appointments, try brief check-ins when needed, and practice sleep and stress strategies between meetings.
