Background and approach
Sessions aim to be direct and useful, with clear steps clients can try between meetings. Jamison uses a mix of problem-solving and emotion-focused work. She draws on client-centered methods to follow each person's priorities, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
She also uses skills-based strategies from dialectical behavior therapy when emotions feel overwhelming. She has helped people cope with a wide range of issues including abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, aging and geriatric issues, communication problems, chronic pain or illness, codependency, divorce and separation, and related challenges.
Jamison adapts her style for each case, focusing on what will make daily life better. Jamison aims to meet people where they are and move forward at a manageable pace. She invites practical goals and steady progress, and works with clients to adjust plans as needs change.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Jamison uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the person's goals, which helps surface priorities and build trust. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers concrete techniques to change them.She also draws on elements of dialectical behavior therapy when intense emotions or sudden crises interfere with daily functioning. DBT supplies practical skills for regulating strong feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for people who need step-by-step tools.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit the situation. Plans are adjusted over time based on what works for the client.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is helpful for longer therapy work and visual cues, phone can be lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and different routines.
