About Jamie
Jamie OConnor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 13 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and parenting concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings.
Jamie uses a mix of evidence-informed methods. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and action. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and small behavior changes. Mindfulness techniques are offered to reduce reactivity and improve emotional awareness.
In sessions Jamie talks through current problems and what the person wants to change. She pays attention to family of origin and attachment issues when those patterns keep repeating. She also supports work on boundaries, communication problems, and coping with life changes like separation or caregiving stress.
For people dealing with anger, Jamie helps identify triggers and build short, practical strategies to avoid escalation. For parenting concerns she works on realistic routines, stress management, and clearer communication with children and co-parents. She also assists with grief, substance concerns, body image, and identity-related struggles.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about goals and next steps. Jamie adapts talk and exercises to fit everyday life, with a focus on skills people can use between sessions. She provides direct feedback and checks progress as therapy moves forward.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them. It helps with anger that comes from feeling stuck or acting on impulse. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, and problem behaviors that keep repeating.Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and try approaches that fit the client's needs and preferences. Decisions about exercises, homework, or focus areas are made together and adjusted over time based on progress and feedback.
