About Jamie
Jamie Schwartz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) practicing in New York with 20 years of experience. She describes working with depression, anxiety, substance use, and eating concerns among other life challenges.
Jamie uses a person-centered approach in sessions. She focuses on listening, building trust, and helping people name what matters to them. Conversations move at a client's pace rather than following a strict agenda.
Her background includes long experience supporting people with substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns. That work brought practical skills in helping people change behaviors and manage cravings, while also addressing mood and stress.
Jamie integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop new coping steps. She also uses mindfulness methods to build awareness of present-moment experience and reduce reactivity.
Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused ideas appear in short-term goals and planning. These approaches are used to draw out personal reasons for change and to create small, manageable next steps.
Clients often come with worries about relationships, self-esteem, body image, or social anxiety and phobia. Jamie also has experience with grief, trauma, ADHD, and women's issues. She works with adults to clarify goals and take practical steps toward them.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Jamie commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person, which helps people clarify goals and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical steps to change upsetting reactions and reduce anxiety.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices can be short exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations, which some people find helpful for panic, stress, and social anxiety and phobia.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences and adjust the plan as work progresses.
