Jamie OConnor

Jamie OConnor is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on trauma-focused therapy alongside practical, person-centered support. She draws on 13 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Her approach aims to make the first steps toward change less overwhelming and more doable.

Jamie emphasizes respectful, sensitive care in every session. She tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions often include straightforward skills for coping with intense feelings, improving sleep and eating patterns, and addressing addictive behaviors.

She also helps people navigate relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, and intimacy-related issues. Work can cover communication problems, commitment or control issues, and healing from family-of-origin or abandonment wounds. Jamie pays attention to the everyday impact these issues have on self-esteem, work, and close connections.

Therapeutic methods Jamie uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and trauma-focused work. These tools are adapted to each person’s goals and comfort level.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward: she listens first, then helps plan practical next steps. People who want to change patterns, cope with grief, or find steadier ground often find this kind of hands-on support useful. Jamie works with English-speaking clients from her Wisconsin practice.

Online approaches that match your needs

Jamie commonly uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process and reduce the everyday effects of traumatic events. This work often focuses on grounding skills, managing strong emotions, and creating step-by-step plans for safety and stability.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is another approach she uses. ACT teaches ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and then testing small changes to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jamie collaborates with each person to decide which methods make the most sense given their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts techniques rather than expecting one way to fit everyone.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. If you prefer remote care, confirm the specific session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and work therapy into a lunch break or a quieter hour at home.
