About Jamie
Jamie Beggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of experience. She works with adults on trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career challenges, ADHD, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and depression. She also notes experience with topics like autism, cancer, control issues, family problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, end-of-life concerns, impulsivity, intellectual disability, money issues, women's issues, workplace worries, and young adult challenges.
Beggs frames clients as the experts on their own stories. She looks for strengths people already have and uses those as a base for change. In sessions she listens, asks questions that clarify values and goals, and suggests practical steps to try between meetings.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, test small changes, and focus on what matters most to them. Conversations are aimed at clear goals rather than abstract theory.
Beggs has worked with children, adolescents, and women facing life transitions, and she brings that experience into adult work without assuming the same solutions fit everyone. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with room to address feelings like guilt and shame as they come up.
People who prefer direct conversation about problems and practical steps will find this approach accessible. To begin, clients fill out a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the work might proceed.
How ACT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps toward what matters despite difficult emotions, which can be useful for guilt and shame.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It often involves testing unhelpful thoughts and practicing new ways of responding, which helps with anxiety, depression, and self-critical thinking.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps clarify motivation and build readiness for change. It is practical when someone feels stuck or uncertain about taking steps forward. Together these methods offer straightforward tools and choices rather than one fixed path.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That discussion shapes which techniques are tried and how sessions are paced, keeping the process collaborative.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing to an online setting to focus on practical steps and values-based goals without promising particular outcomes.
