About Jamie
Jamie Williams is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of experience based in Maryland. She helps people who are carrying stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to LGBT issues. She also works with feelings tied to abandonment, attachment wounds, communication problems, guilt and shame, and panic symptoms.
Jamie keeps sessions direct and conversational. She listens for the practical ways guilt and shame show up in daily life. Together with the person in front of her she names patterns and tries small, concrete changes that feel manageable. Sessions are meant to be a place to say what’s hard without judgment and to practice different ways of thinking or behaving.
Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood, panic, and trauma-related symptoms. She pays close attention to how past relationships shape current reactions and to issues that commonly appear with sexuality and identity concerns. Jamie can help people sort how guilt and shame link to choices, beliefs, or patterns learned in childhood.
She is licensed in the District of Columbia as an LPC and holds LCPC licensure for Maryland. Language of work is English and international clients are not accepted. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. That first meeting focuses on immediate concerns and on deciding practical next steps together.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used to address shame and guilt include approaches that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and those that focus on processing distressing memories. Cognitive-style work helps people notice and test thoughts that fuel shame or guilt, and then try alternative, less self-blaming ways of thinking. Memory-focused methods help people tell their story in a contained way and reduce the emotional charge linked to past events.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify what feels most relevant to their goals and what fits their preferences. Early sessions typically review immediate concerns and then try one or two methods to see what helps in everyday life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people practice new responses between sessions in the same contexts where life happens, which can make small changes more practical.
