About Jamie
LCSW-R (New York) clinician with 20 years of experience, Jamie Schwartz focuses on substance use and mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, eating issues, and trauma. She practices client-centered work and draws on cognitive behavioral and motivational methods to address practical problems. Jamie works in New York and provides services in English; international clients are accepted.
Jamie concentrates on concrete goals like reducing substance use, managing panic, and improving mood and daily functioning. Sessions move at a client's own pace. The first meetings typically clarify immediate concerns and set short-term steps to try between sessions.
She uses client-centered therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational interviewing helps people weigh change options and strengthen their own reasons to act.
Mindfulness exercises and solution-focused strategies are also part of her toolkit to help with stress, cravings, and relapse prevention. These tools are presented simply so clients can practice them in daily life. Jamie also addresses body image, codependency, and relationship patterns that affect recovery.
Her approach emphasizes practical coping skills, clearer decision making, and shorter goals that build confidence. People typically leave sessions with one or two things to try before the next meeting. This keeps therapy focused and actionable while allowing time to process heavier material.

How Jamie’s approaches translate to remote work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. In remote sessions this means the therapist prioritizes the client’s goals and pace, and builds the agenda from the client’s immediate concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online work often uses brief, practiceable exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jamie will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and daily life. That plan can change as needs evolve, with regular check-ins about what is working and what to try next.
The biography does not list session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use techniques at home between meetings. Therapists commonly adapt mindfulness practices and CBT worksheets for digital use to support steady progress without needing long in-person visits.
