About Jamie
Jamie OConnor is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of practice in Wisconsin. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, relationships, family tensions, and parenting concerns. Her approach is direct and respectful, with attention to each person’s situation and goals.
Jamie uses clear conversation and practical strategies to help people manage mood, coping, and behavior. She adapts her work to what a person actually needs rather than following a fixed script.
Background and approach
Sessions often include checking immediate concerns, setting small goals, and practicing new ways to respond to stress. Her background includes work across mood and behavior challenges such as depression, addictions, and grief. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy questions, and issues around self-esteem and body image.
Jamie pays attention to relationship patterns and family of origin dynamics that shape how people cope today. Jamie draws on several evidence-based approaches while keeping the work personal and practical. She combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered work to help people notice what matters and take steps that fit their values.
Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas also inform how she helps people understand long-standing patterns. People who reach out can expect a calm, nonjudgmental conversation to identify priorities and practical next steps. Jamie supports adults navigating parenting pressures, career shifts, ADHD challenges, and the many small and large changes life brings.

Combining practical approaches for online parenting support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and parenting choices when actions feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and experiments; it often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and follows the pace set by the person seeking help.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Jamie will discuss what matters to each person and try approaches that match their goals and comfort. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as needs or priorities change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video is useful for longer sessions and interactive exercises, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging can support ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent during busy parenting routines or work demands.
