Jamie Finkelstein

Jamie Finkelstein is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage intense feelings and life changes. She works with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship struggles. Jamie offers a calm, respectful space where clients can talk about what matters most to them.

She draws on 11 years of experience practicing in several states and brings a person-centered stance to each session. That means she listens first, then helps clients find practical steps that fit their lives. Conversations often focus on day-to-day skills for coping, clearer communication, and building self-compassion.

Jamie uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She applies techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action.

Sessions can address a long list of concerns like trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, parenting stress, and work challenges. Jamie also works with people navigating LGBTQ+ experiences, attachment and abandonment issues, and health-related stress such as chronic illness or caregiver strain.

Her style is straightforward and supportive. She helps clients break problems into manageable steps and practices skills between sessions. To begin, people typically complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. In practice this often means identifying what matters most and taking small steps toward those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing thought patterns and behaviors that feed anxiety or anger, with clear exercises and homework to practice skills between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at relationship patterns and emotional responses to improve connection and communication when intimacy or relationship stress is involved.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Some approaches lend themselves to brief skills practice while others use longer, reflective conversations; Jamie will help match the format and pacing to each person's needs.
