About Jamie

Jamie Clausen is a licensed mental health counselor with a decade of experience supporting people facing depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, anxiety, and related life challenges.

Background and approach

She centers care on each person's goals, blending practical skills and compassionate listening to help clients reduce distress and build more effective coping patterns. Her practice draws on client-centered principles alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to tailor interventions to the needs presented.

Clausen has worked in community mental health settings where she supported a wide range of concerns, from mood and panic symptoms to grief, addiction, and relationship struggles. She also addresses family and communication difficulties and assists clients navigating identity, self-worth, and life transitions.

As a Washington-licensed LMHC, she offers treatment that combines evidence-informed techniques with mindfulness and emotion-focused strategies to promote clearer thinking, emotional regulation, and more satisfying connections.

Practical online approaches for skills and emotional growth

Jamie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related difficulties. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy provides a collaborative, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist prioritizes the client's experience and supports self-directed growth through empathy and validation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which are useful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is often a process rather than a single decision. Jamie works together with each person to assess needs, try strategies, and refine the plan over time so therapy aligns with personal goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules and maintain continuity during life changes. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured CBT exercises, skills coaching from DBT, and client-centered conversations in ways that suit different communication styles and practical needs.
