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.
