Jamie OConnor , LCSW

Jamie OConnor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience. She focuses on women's issues including stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns. Jamie aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can talk through what matters to them.

She uses practical therapies to help people manage emotions and make changes that fit their lives. Sessions often focus on improving communication, coping with life changes, and addressing family of origin or blended family challenges. Jamie also works with people facing grief, addiction, body image concerns, and intimacy-related issues.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps set clear goals together. Treatment plans are tailored to the person and may draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, or psychodynamic ideas depending on the situation.

Clients may address practical matters like sleep, eating patterns, anger, or day-to-day stress management. She also supports people navigating adoption and foster care questions, attachment concerns, codependency, and caregiver stress. Conversations aim to produce small, usable steps between sessions.

Jamie works with people across sexual orientations and with those exploring LGBT concerns. Her approach seeks to empower clients to make choices that match their values and needs while building skills for healthier relationships and better self-esteem.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jamie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people can find their own solutions and grow at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jamie will work collaboratively to figure out which methods match a person's goals and preferences, and she may combine tools from different approaches as needed. The focus is on practical steps and shared decision making so therapy fits into daily life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day or to share thoughts between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility for people managing work, family, or caregiving responsibilities.
