About Jamie

Jamie Finkelstein is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience based in Colorado. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and issues connected to family of origin. Jamie also supports people navigating LGBT-related concerns, grief, addictions, and life transitions.

She focuses on how patterns learned in childhood and family roles show up in adult life. Sessions are conversational and practical. Jamie helps people notice repetitive behaviors, make small changes, and build clearer boundaries and communication skills.

Jamie uses a mix of grounded methods to address day-to-day problems and deeper emotional patterns. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed action despite difficult emotions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy inform her work with relationship and regulation challenges. That means time spent on emotional awareness, repair conversations, and skills for managing intense feelings. Client-Centered Therapy guides the pace and focus, with the client’s concerns leading each session.

Her background includes more than a decade of practicing across several states, helping people with attachment issues, blended family concerns, parenting strain, and identity-related questions. Jamie explains tools clearly and helps people try them between sessions. She asks practical questions, sets short-term objectives, and checks progress as work moves forward.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. ACT can be useful for issues like anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT often helps with worry, sleep problems, and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets emotional patterns in close relationships and supports practice in expressing needs and repairing misunderstandings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the options and decide together which methods match the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process can blend skill-building, values work, and emotional processing as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can fit into work breaks, reduce travel time, and make it easier to maintain continuity when life is busy. Practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed, the option to skip video for an audio session if bandwidth is limited, and scheduling that can align with weekdays or evenings to keep therapy part of an ordinary routine.
