About Jamie
Jamie Hess is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of experience working with adolescents in school settings. She focuses on helping people find motivation, build confidence, and set realistic goals. Jamie aims to meet each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion to make beginning therapy less daunting.
Her work centers on practical steps. She helps people identify strengths and build resilience. Conversations often include setting short-term goals and creating simple plans to reach them. This approach is meant to make progress easier to notice and sustain.
Jamie also helps people work through anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and changes in life circumstances. She supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and burnout like compassion fatigue. Sleep difficulties and seasonal mood changes are additional areas she addresses as part of overall wellbeing.
In sessions Jamie talks through feelings and situations so clients can reach clearer decisions. She adapts discussion and planning to each person's needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all method. Parents and caregivers reading this can expect straightforward language and concrete steps to try between meetings.
To begin, Jamie asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. She uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and meeting logistics are arranged after the initial match.
Evidence-based techniques and online care that fit your life
Jamie draws on common evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach emphasizes identifying strengths and building resilience so people can handle stress and setbacks with clearer steps and new habits. Another approach centers on goal-setting and planning, breaking larger aims into manageable tasks to increase motivation and confidence.Finding the right approach usually takes a little time. Jamie works collaboratively with each person to figure out which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts plans so sessions stay useful and relevant rather than sticking to a fixed method.
For logistics, confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be held. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and let people check in between responsibilities. It also supports a range of practical formats and session rhythms, from focused skill-building to ongoing coaching-style meetings, depending on what you and the therapist agree will work best.
