Dr. Jamie Spohn , MD

Dr. Jamie Spohn is an MD psychologist with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth care for people facing anxiety, depression, stress, and parenting challenges. Her work also addresses women's issues, ADHD, grief, and adjusting to chronic illness or injury.

She uses a primarily cognitive-behavioral approach while drawing on other methods when helpful. Sessions are straightforward and goal oriented. Clients can expect a mix of supportive feedback and clear challenges to build independence and coping skills.

Her background includes work with young people and adults across a range of concerns, and a particular focus on traumatic brain injury, concussion, and chronic pain and illness. She pays attention to both strengths and weaknesses to create realistic plans for daily life and work performance.

Dr. Spohn aims to be respectful and direct. She encourages client feedback and adapts strategies to each person’s needs. Communication is typically weekday-based, with responses usually once or twice a day Monday through Friday.

Online practice options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. For live text sessions she schedules 30-minute blocks, and messaging responses are generally within 24 to 48 hours on weekdays.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that get in the way of feeling better. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and coping with life changes. Motivational interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change and build motivation step by step. It can be useful for career shifts, caregiver stress, or making health-related changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past experiences, and what feels most workable. Together they adjust methods as progress is made and feedback is shared, so the plan fits the person's life and needs.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone visits, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Live chat and text let people write in their own time and schedule focused 30-minute live text slots when needed. These options make therapy more flexible for work, parenting, and busy days.
