  • Client-centered work

About Jamie

Jamie Brandmair is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience based in Tennessee. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and anger among other concerns. Jamie also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, addiction issues, parenting stress, ADHD, and career or life transitions.

Her approach is grounded in client-centered and psychodynamic ideas. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. She also brings tools from EMDR when trauma memories are part of the problem. Sessions are practical and focused on clear changes rather than theory alone.

Jamie has worked in outpatient, inpatient, school-based, detention, and in-home settings. That range means she is familiar with different life contexts and the everyday barriers people face when trying to get help. She describes herself as a survivor of childhood trauma and uses that perspective to inform her work with others.

In a session she talks through current patterns, teaches coping skills, and helps people practice new ways of responding to stress and anger. She also uses narrative techniques to help people reframe stories that keep them stuck. Motivational Interviewing is part of how she supports change when people feel unsure about next steps.

Jamie helps people who want concrete, step-by-step work on problems like anger, sleep disruption, and relationship conflict. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online options button.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Jamie often uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the client's priorities and to listen closely to what matters most. That approach helps when someone wants someone to acknowledge their experience and work at their pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and to practice new behaviors; it is practical for problems like anger, anxiety, and sleep trouble. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for trauma-related memories and can reduce the emotional charge tied to those memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the client's needs. This is a collaborative process where clients can give feedback and adjust the plan over time.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Many people find remote sessions help them continue care during life transitions or when traveling. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and EMDR-style processing to remote formats when appropriate.
