Jamie Blakeman is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Illinois with more than 16 years of experience in the mental health field. She provides therapy for people facing a wide range of concerns, including severe mental illness, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, addictions, relationship and family conflicts, grief, and other life changes.
Jamie is particularly committed to supporting individuals who are managing co-occurring disorders or who need help navigating day-to-day challenges. Her approach is holistic and collaborative, drawing from evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) so treatment can be tailored to each person’s needs.
Through the therapeutic relationship Jamie aims to increase self-awareness, broaden perspective, reduce symptoms, and build personal strengths that support a more meaningful life experience. In sessions she blends nurture, challenge, and practical skills-building to help clients heal, rebuild, and strengthen resilience.
Many people wonder whether virtual therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person treatment.
One major benefit is flexibility - individuals can choose the format that fits their life, whether that is video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to attend appointments and maintain continuity of care.
All therapists in these settings are licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists at any time if they want a different fit. For many people, the accessibility and adaptability of online therapy make it a practical and impactful option for addressing mental health concerns.
