About Jamie

Jamie Blakeman is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 16 years of experience who works with adults facing a wide range of mental health and life challenges, including ADHD and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar.

Background and approach

She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, substance-related concerns, grief, and relationship or intimacy issues, while also addressing practical problems like sleep, eating, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Her style blends a holistic, client-centered stance with evidence-informed methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques.

Jamie aims to collaborate with each person to build self-awareness, identify strengths, and develop skills that reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. She emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as a space for support, growth, and rebuilding resilience.

Based in Illinois and licensed as an LCPC, she accepts international clients and adapts her approach to meet individual needs. Sessions are geared toward practical change as well as deeper healing, with an emphasis on nurturing, challenge, and understanding so clients can move toward more meaningful and manageable lives.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, listening, and collaboration to help people explore their priorities and build on personal strengths. It is helpful for those seeking a supportive space to process life events and develop clearer goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and reduce symptoms, which makes it well suited to structured online sessions and homework-based work. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) brings together skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness; these concrete techniques can be practiced and reinforced across video, phone, or messaging formats.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to clarify goals, try interventions, and adjust methods based on what is most helpful. That ongoing collaboration helps ensure the therapeutic plan fits the client's needs, preferences, and life circumstances.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and practice skills in real time between appointments, while allowing licensed professionals to provide consistent therapeutic support across distances.
