About Jamie
Jamie Hess is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of work experience. She spent much of that time working with adolescents in school settings. Her practice focuses on concerns like relationships, self-esteem, career planning, coping with life changes, stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and issues related to LGBT identity.
Jamie helps people identify strengths and build resilience. She supports clients who want clearer goals and practical plans to reach them. That can include improving motivation, increasing confidence, or developing a growth mindset to change a situation.
Her approach is straightforward. She asks questions to clarify feelings and helps clients name what they are experiencing. From there she and the client create steps and practices that fit daily life. Sessions are aimed at concrete changes rather than abstract theory.
Jamie also works with communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, seasonal affective disorder, self-love, and social anxiety. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and to help people cope with trauma, compassion fatigue, and sleep difficulties.
She frames the work as collaborative. The client’s goals shape the plan and the tasks between sessions. The first steps are small and focused, such as setting one manageable goal or trying a specific practice, then reviewing what works.
If you are considering therapy, Jamie asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Jamie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions and guide practical change. One common approach focuses on setting clear goals and breaking them into manageable steps - this helps with motivation, career planning, and building confidence. Another common approach emphasizes identifying and naming emotions, which can make guilt, shame, and relationship concerns easier to work with by clarifying what needs attention.Finding the right approach is something she figures out with each person. She asks about your needs, goals, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together you choose methods to try and adjust them based on what fits your life and what helps most.
If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also let someone choose less camera-focused options if that helps them engage. Jamie will review how you prefer to work and suggest an approach that fits your practical constraints and goals.
