About Jamie
Jamie Taylor is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois. She brings six years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and big life changes. Jamie aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for busy people feeling overwhelmed by emotions.
She creates a calm space for people to talk through guilt, shame, attachment wounds, and feelings of emptiness. Sessions often focus on skills to handle panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, impulsivity, and mood instability. Jamie draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach concrete coping steps.
She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and build willingness around hard feelings. For trauma work she integrates eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when appropriate. Her client-centered stance keeps the conversation grounded in each person’s story and priorities.
Jamie has worked with people who have first responder backgrounds and those with adoption or foster care experiences, which informs her attention to trauma and attachment concerns. She is comfortable addressing codependency and blended family issues as part of broader relationship and intimacy work.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps people set realistic goals, practice new behaviors between sessions, and notice small progress. To start, she encourages completing a brief match questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment so goals and logistics can be chosen together.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and practice small actions that match those values even when emotions are hard. It can help with anxiety, depression, and feelings of emptiness by shifting attention toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, centers on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises and behavior changes; it is often helpful for panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and mood symptoms. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused approach that works with memories and distressing sensations to reduce their intensity and help people feel less triggered by past events. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about current struggles, goals, and preferences, and will suggest options based on that conversation. Treatment can blend methods so that skills work, values-based action, and trauma processing happen at a pace that feels right. Confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, require less travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make it simpler to practice skills in everyday settings and keep momentum between appointments.Areas of expertise
