About Jamie

Jamie Finkelstein is an LPC with 11 years of clinical experience who works from Colorado and offers a supportive, affirming approach for people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, identity concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a client-centered environment where personal values and strengths guide the work, and she helps clients build practical skills for coping, communication, and emotion regulation. Her practice blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with acceptance-based and relational approaches to address issues like stress, grief, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Jamie also brings experience with parenting and family dynamics, adoption and foster care challenges, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and a range of attachment and relationship difficulties. She tailors interventions to each person, aiming to increase self-compassion, improve coping with change, and support clearer decision making.

Jamie offers flexible session formats and collaborates with clients to set goals that reflect their priorities. Her work often includes coaching elements for career or life transitions and practical strategies to manage sleeping problems, ADHD-related struggles, and patterns such as codependency or control issues.

Therapeutic approaches and online care



Jamie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for changing behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support clients in clarifying values, practicing acceptance of difficult internal experiences, and taking meaningful action toward goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jamie collaborates with each person to determine which combination of methods best matches their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting plans as progress and circumstances evolve so treatment feels relevant and workable.

Online therapy with Jamie is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving clients options for how and when to connect. These formats provide flexibility for scheduling, ongoing skill practice between sessions, and access to licensed professionals from different locations, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives.
