About Jamie
Jamie Clausen is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. She works with adults on mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, and on practical problems like sleep, work stress, and relationship communication. Her approach aims to make therapy feel straightforward and useful from the first visit.
She uses a client-centered stance, which means she starts by listening to each person’s goals and priorities. From there she draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and on dialectical behavior techniques to build coping skills. Mindfulness practices are introduced when they fit a person’s needs and rhythm.
In sessions Jamie helps people talk through traumatic experiences and the effects those events have on daily life. She also helps people who struggle with addiction, panic, shame, or feelings of isolation. Work with parenting stress, communication problems, and life transitions is offered by focusing on practical steps and clearer communication.
Jamie practiced for many years in community mental health settings in Washington. That background shaped her focus on accessible, hands-on strategies that can be used between sessions. She invites people to try straightforward tools first, and to adapt the plan as progress is made.
People who choose to work with her can expect a balance of listening and skill-building. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort level.
