Jamie Hess

Jamie Hess is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She spent much of that time working with adolescents in school settings. Her practice focuses on issues such as relationship concerns, self-esteem, career doubts, grief, stress, anxiety, and life purpose. Hess helps people identify where they feel stuck and create clear, achievable goals. She guides conversations about motivation, confidence, and making practical plans to reach personal objectives. Sessions include talking through feelings and recognizing strengths people already have. Her background in schools shaped a direct, practical style. That experience led to working with coping skills, problem solving, and building resilience. She encourages a growth mindset and uses steps clients can try between sessions. She also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, sleep concerns, seasonal affective disorder, social anxiety, and issues related to LGBT identity. Communication problems, forgiveness, and guilt and shame are listed specialties she can help people work through. Jamie frames therapy as a collaborative process. She adapts conversations and treatment plans to the person in front of her. To begin, she asks about goals and helps break them into manageable actions that fit daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Jamie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and skill building. One common approach is goal-focused work that breaks larger aims into small, concrete steps. This helps when someone is unsure what comes next in work or life and wants a clear plan to try. A second approach emphasizes building resilience and a growth mindset through skill practice. That means identifying strengths, rehearsing coping strategies, and setting short experiments to test new behaviors. These methods are often useful for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and adjusting after life changes. Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to test different approaches and adjust based on what fits their needs, goals, and comfort. The process aims to match techniques to the person rather than forcing a single method. Please confirm the available session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Many people find virtual work helps them keep momentum between sessions and apply new steps directly to daily routines.
