Jamie Blakeman, LCPC

Jamie Blakeman is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 16 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at making daily life feel more manageable.

Jamie works with individuals facing co-occurring conditions and complex challenges. She uses clear conversation to identify what matters most and to set goals that fit each person's life. Sessions are oriented toward skills people can use right away, not just talk about problems.

Her methods combine client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. She brings mindfulness and motivational interviewing into the work when they match a client’s needs. This mix is intended to help people build awareness, change unhelpful patterns, and strengthen coping strategies.

Therapy here emphasizes a steady, collaborative relationship. Jamie aims to create a calm space where people feel heard and challenged in helpful ways. That steady relationship is used to rebuild routines, manage symptoms, and grow resilience.

Jamie is based in Illinois and works in English. She has experience across many concerns, including bipolar disorder, addictions, grief, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. It helps people feel understood and noticed, and it supports exploration of values and goals in a way that fits daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical tools to change patterns that keep problems going, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.

Dialetical Behavior Therapy (DBT) includes skills for emotion regulation and tolerating distress. Those skills are useful when emotions feel intense or when people need steady strategies to manage day-to-day challenges.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is revisited as things change and progress is made.

Clients should confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options that reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and skills practice to work well in remote sessions when the format suits the client's daily routine.
