About Jamie
Jamie Hess is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of professional experience. She has worked extensively in school settings and with individuals facing common life stresses. Her practice focuses on things like relationships, self-esteem, career questions, grief, anxiety, and coping with major life changes.
Jamie helps people find motivation and build confidence. She talks through practical goal-setting and supports clients as they make step-by-step plans. She uses straightforward discussion to identify strengths and increase resilience.
Her background includes long-term work with adolescents in schools, where she supported students with emotional and behavioral concerns. That experience shaped a clear, problem-focused style that moves from understanding feelings to creating actions. Jamie draws on years of hands-on practice rather than abstract theories.
In sessions she addresses communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and issues around life purpose. She also helps with seasonal mood shifts, sleep struggles, social anxiety, and compassion fatigue. Clients can expect direct conversation about what is getting in the way and what practical changes might help.
She frames progress as learning new habits and developing steady coping skills. Jamie adapts session content to a client's situation and preferences. To begin she asks a few concrete questions and works with clients to build small, achievable steps toward their goals.
Therapeutic methods and how online sessions work
Jamie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is goal-focused work that breaks bigger problems into small, testable steps. This helps when someone wants clearer direction in work, relationships, or purpose by turning ideas into actions.An additional emphasis is on building self-esteem and resilience. Sessions look at current patterns, identify strengths, and practice new behaviors that reduce shame, worry, or avoidance. This style can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and social fears.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jamie will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time based on what is working and what feels manageable.
