Jamie Koivisto-Goeppinger , LPC, LPCC

Jamie Koivisto-Goeppinger is a licensed counselor who focuses on client-centered care. She brings ten years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Jamie aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them.

Her approach centers on listening first and tailoring work to each person’s needs. She uses practical methods to help with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and identity questions such as LGBT and gender dysphoria issues.

Jamie blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. She often uses solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals and trauma-focused approaches when past events are part of the concern. Sessions tend to be collaborative, with the client guiding priorities and pace.

She has particular experience with ADHD, Autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family issues, caregiver strain, communication problems, and divorce or separation. Other areas Jamie addresses include chronic illness and cancer caregiving, hospice and end-of-life counseling, hoarding, infidelity, and forgiveness work.

Sessions are offered in English and are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Costs vary by location and follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

Practical approaches for online counseling and healing

Jamie often uses client-centered therapy to start most online sessions. This approach focuses on listening and understanding each person’s story, then working at the client’s pace to set goals and priorities. It is useful for concerns like stress, relationship strain, and identity questions.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT helps people learn new skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside CBT to build attention to the present moment and reduce emotional reactivity during stressful times.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods with the client and decide together what feels most helpful. That collaborative planning allows adjustments over time as needs or goals change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and deeper skill work. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be a quicker check-in or a way to reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when circumstances change.
