About Jamie
Jamie Schwartz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) based in New York. She brings 20 years of experience helping people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use, eating concerns, and related problems. Her style is warm and person-centered, and she aims to meet people where they are.
In sessions, Jamie focuses on practical steps that fit each person's life. She listens without judgment and moves at a pace that feels manageable. That approach is helpful for people dealing with stress, panic symptoms, relationship strain, and grief.
Her background includes two decades of work with substance use and mental health issues. Jamie draws on several approaches such as client-centered care, cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to shape treatment plans.
She pays attention to how symptoms show up in daily routines and relationships. That can mean working on thought patterns, building coping skills, or setting small reachable goals. Jamie also addresses concerns like body image, codependency, and compulsion around food and substances.
People who come to her for help with panic disorder and panic attacks can expect a blend of supportive listening and concrete strategies. The goal is to reduce disruption from symptoms and help people reclaim more of their day-to-day life.
How therapy approaches guide online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, offering empathy and acceptance while helping them set goals and try new ways of coping.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to build skills that reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and body sensations without reacting. This can help when panic or stress feel overwhelming by training attention and reducing reactivity.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jamie will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is made.
