About Jamie

Jamie OConnor is a licensed clinical social worker in Wisconsin with 13 years of experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Jamie aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where clients can start making small changes that add up over time.

Jamie helps people work through relationship tension, family conflict, and parenting strain. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma, addictions, eating concerns, anger, and issues with self-esteem. Sleeping and rest concerns are among the areas she addresses alongside life transitions and career stress.

Her approach is individualized. Sessions begin with listening to what matters most to the client and crafting a plan that fits their life. Jamie uses a mix of practical tools and reflective conversation to build skills people can use right away.

She draws on methods such as acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavior techniques, mindfulness practices, client-centered listening, and psychodynamic ideas about patterns from the past. These tools are framed in plain language and applied to everyday problems like worry, sleepless nights, and communication breakdowns.

People who choose Jamie can expect a supportive, steady presence and straightforward homework when it helps. She encourages gradual steps and clear goals, helping clients notice progress and adjust the plan as needed.

How Jamie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action toward valued life goals. It can help with worry, avoidance, and getting better sleep by changing how someone responds to intrusive thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, mood problems, and sleep routines by offering step-by-step strategies and experiments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jamie listens to each person’s goals and preferences and combines methods that match their situation. She works with clients to try techniques, see what helps, and adjust the plan over time so therapy fits real life.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day at work. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises or behavioral experiments between meetings to improve sleep and daily routines. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to meet each person's needs while keeping sessions focused and practical.
