About Jamie

Jamie Brandmair is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience helping people navigate stress, mood concerns, trauma, and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

She brings a practice informed by a range of clinical approaches, and she draws on those tools to support clients working through anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, parenting difficulties, and intimacy or communication struggles. Jamie’s background includes focused training in trauma-related methods and cognitive behavioral approaches that guide her problem-solving and coping-skills work.

Her therapeutic style centers on collaboration and understanding; she blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques such as CBT and EMDR to address patterns of thought, emotional reactions, and difficult memories. This combination allows her to tailor interventions for concerns like eating and sleeping problems, ADHD-related challenges, compassion fatigue, career stress, and complex grief.

Jamie is based in Tennessee, practices in English, and accepts international clients, offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to match different needs and rhythms.

Using Evidence-Informed Approaches in Online Care

Jamie often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support processing of traumatic memories and reduce the emotional intensity tied to those experiences. Client-centered methods form the relational foundation, emphasizing empathic listening and collaboration so that interventions fit each person's goals and readiness.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting the plan over time rather than relying on a single method. This shared decision-making helps align treatment with what a client needs and feels comfortable trying.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for busy schedules, physical limitations, or geographic distance. These formats make it possible to continue therapeutic work from different locations and to choose the communication style that supports consistent engagement and progress.
