About Jamie
Jamie Taylor is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with six years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. Jamie also addresses issues around intimacy, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, and feelings of guilt and shame.
She uses practical, evidence-based methods rather than labels. Sessions are collaborative and focused on clear goals. Jamie blends approaches to suit what a person needs in the moment, often drawing on acceptance, skills training, and cognitive work.
Her work includes attention to attachment and relationship wounds, abandonment and adoption-related concerns, and the particular strains that first responders can face. She also supports people struggling with dissociation, emptiness, impulsivity, and obsessive or compulsive patterns.
In sessions she typically helps clients notice patterns that keep painful feelings going. She offers concrete strategies to manage intense emotions and reduce unhelpful reactions. She may introduce practices that encourage present-moment noticing, emotion regulation skills, or experiments with new behaviors.
Jamie’s background includes sustained work with people who have lived through trauma and those who grew up in foster or adoptive settings. She aims to be straightforward about options and next steps so people can decide what feels workable.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. It often uses simple exercises to clarify values and small actions that align with those values, which can help when guilt or shame limit everyday choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing out different thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and skill-oriented, useful for anxiety, depression, and obsessive patterns when someone wants specific tools to try between sessions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that can reduce the intensity of traumatic memories through structured processing. It is sometimes used when past events keep triggering strong emotional responses.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, past experiences, and comfort with different methods, then suggest a path forward and adjust it as needed.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistency while they try new ways of handling guilt, shame, or trauma.
