About Jamie

Jamie Taylor is an LCPC based in Illinois who brings six years of clinical experience to work with people managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods to address concerns such as panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, mood disorder symptoms, and difficulties with impulsivity. Her practice also attends to relational and developmental themes like attachment wounds, abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, and blended family challenges.

Her style emphasizes empathy and collaboration, offering a steady space to explore guilt, shame, dissociation, emptiness, and other painful feelings. Jamie blends cognitive and behavioral strategies with acceptance-focused and client-centered approaches, and she integrates techniques such as EMDR and DBT when indicated.

Clients can expect practical coping skills alongside deeper exploration of personal history and meaning. Jamie frames therapy as a joint effort to build resilience and workable strategies for day-to-day living.

She works with a broad range of mood and trauma-related concerns, helping individuals move from survival toward clearer values, improved coping, and more manageable emotional experiences.

How cognitive and acceptance-based methods work online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, or obsessive-compulsive patterns; it is practical and skill-focused, often using homework and in-session exercises to build new habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values clarification and learning to make room for difficult emotions while taking meaningful action, which can be useful when coping with grief, chronic stress, or life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the individual's experience, providing empathic listening and reflection to help people feel heard and to support self-directed growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jamie collaborates with clients to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful, adjust strategies over time, and prioritize approaches that align with each person’s values and everyday life.

Online therapy with Jamie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, reduce travel time, and fit therapeutic work into everyday life while still receiving structured, licensed professional support.
