Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello! So glad you decided to stop by! I am Jackie Downie, Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
You are on your first step on your journey. Some are looking for self-improvement, some are searching for ways to handle anxiety and depression, some are hoping for a new path out of past challenges. I have over twenty years of experience in counseling and therapy. I have experience in getting people where they want to go in their lives. I would love to be there for you!
When I work with people, I start with what has worked for you in the past that we can bring forward again in your present challenges. Often people have overlooked their own positive qualities or ideas that can make a big difference. Together we will explore what from your past may be holding you back, and examine and think through new ways to think about your current life and situations. You might start with some new thoughts and behaviors that will create positive change.
I have worked with people experiencing anxiety, depression, attention challenges, trauma from childhood and teen years and trauma from more recent events. I have helped parents of kids of all ages and people in trouble at work. I have found ways for people who are extremely stressed by coworkers or managers to hang on and actually make their work lives better. I have helped those who have lost a special person to handle the phases of grief. Each person is an individual, with their own specific issues that they face in their lives that might be similar to others, but can never be exactly the same as another person.
I am happy you reached out here. You will find the support and assistance you deserve. Hope to talk with you soon!

Mary “Jackie” Downie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in Oregon and Wyoming and brings 20 years of counseling experience to her work. She welcomes people who are taking a first step toward change, whether they seek self-improvement, relief from anxiety or depression, or a new path beyond past difficulties.
Her approach begins with identifying what has helped a person in the past and using those strengths to address present challenges. Jackie looks for overlooked positive qualities and practical ideas clients can reapply, while also exploring how past experiences may be influencing current patterns. Together with clients she considers new ways of thinking and small shifts in behavior that can lead to meaningful improvement.
Jackie has worked with individuals facing anxiety, depression, attention difficulties, trauma from childhood, adolescence, and more recent events, as well as parents managing concerns across the age span, people experiencing work-related stress, and those navigating grief. She treats each person as an individual with unique circumstances and offers steady support and practical assistance to help them move toward their goals.
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or coping with life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
A major benefit is convenience and flexibility – clients can connect in the format that fits their life best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to schedule regular sessions and maintain momentum in the work.
Therapists offering online care are licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists at any time if they feel another provider would be a better match. For many people, these features make online therapy a practical and effective option for addressing everyday mental health needs.
