About Jamie

Jamie OConnor is a licensed clinical social worker who blends evidence-based techniques with empathetic support to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, and family challenges.

Background and approach

With 13 years of practice in Wisconsin, she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness and acceptance-based methods to create practical, individualized plans that address symptoms and daily coping. Her work also covers parenting concerns, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem, with additional attention to attachment, adoption and foster care topics, and family-of-origin dynamics.

She approaches each person with sensitivity and respect, shaping conversations and goals to fit unique circumstances rather than applying one-size-fits-all solutions. Clients seeking help for eating or sleeping problems, anger, career transitions, or coping with life changes will find a mix of short-term strategies and deeper exploration available.

Jamie emphasizes collaboration, helping people build skills and insights that fit their values and life demands while offering steady support during difficult transitions.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online

Jamie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work, using practical exercises and thought-behavior tracking to address patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, while ACT focuses on values-driven action and increasing psychological flexibility when difficult thoughts or feelings arise.

She also brings client-centered and mindfulness elements to remote sessions, emphasizing empathetic listening and present-moment awareness to support clearer decision-making and improved coping. Finding the right combination of approaches is collaborative - the therapist works with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances rather than imposing a single path.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow clients to access licensed professionals from wherever they are, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or other commitments.
