Jamie Finkelstein , LPC

Jamie Finkelstein is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 11 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and identity concerns. She works with clients who are navigating grief, trauma, parenting strain, relationship challenges, and career transitions. Jamie makes space for honest conversation so people can start solving problems that feel overwhelming.

Her style is warm and straightforward. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on skills that can be used right away. She draws on practical approaches to help clients shift unhelpful thinking, manage strong emotions, and clarify values.

Jamie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and try new behaviors. She also weaves in client-centered and emotion-focused techniques to strengthen emotional awareness and connection. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when people need tools for distress tolerance and emotional regulation.

Her background includes years of practice across several states, and she has worked with people facing addiction, bipolar disorder, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. Jamie also supports people with parenting concerns, body image struggles, and intimacy-related issues.

Sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. She speaks English and practices in Colorado as an AZ LPC and CO LPC. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for them.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which is useful for stress, panic, sleep problems, and mood shifts. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) works on increasing awareness of emotions and improving how people express needs, which can help with intimacy issues and emotional connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jamie collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress is made. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize skills training, values work, or deeper emotional processing.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and therapeutic exercises, phone calls can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth needs, live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief coaching-style contacts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and travel.
