Jamie Finkelstein

Jamie Finkelstein is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and identity-related concerns. She works with individuals facing trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, grief, parenting stress, and career transition concerns. Jamie aims to create an affirming space where people feel seen and respected.

Jamie uses mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas alongside practical skills to reduce distress and build resilience. Sessions often focus on clear, doable steps such as grounding practices, values clarification, and communication skills. She blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and emotion-regulation strategies to meet each person where they are.

Her background includes practice across several states, and she brings experience supporting people through attachment wounds, adoption and foster care questions, blended family challenges, and caregiver strain. She also offers support around body image, chronic illness and pain, and the stress that comes with major life changes.

Jamie pays attention to how identity, including LGBTQ experiences, shapes stress and coping. She works on self-esteem, boundaries, and managing burnout or compassion fatigue. The approach is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.

Practical goals in sessions include improving sleep, reducing panic or anger, changing unhelpful behavior patterns, and creating a plan for work or parenting challenges.

How Mindfulness and Acceptance Work in Online Care

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and lessen rumination. It can help with anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and building tolerance for difficult feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions toward them while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts or emotions. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and major life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathic listening and unconditional regard, giving people space to make sense of their experience and find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which ideas and exercises fit their goals and day-to-day life. This is a shared process that can shift over time as needs change.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are noted on the therapist's profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try guided mindfulness practice or behavior-change work from wherever they are, and the therapist will help adapt exercises to each person's routine and constraints.
