Jamie Schlichenmayer, LPC
Somatic-minded counselor for everyday struggles
About Jamie
Jamie Schlichenmayer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports those dealing with anger, parenting strain, sleeping or eating difficulties, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and LGBT-related issues.
Jamie practices in Colorado and works by listening closely and responding to each person's needs. Her style is practical and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what feels stuck and on small, doable steps forward.
Background and approach
She pays attention to both body experience and thoughts, and she uses breath, movement, and awareness alongside talk to help people feel more regulated. Jamie draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person.
That can include cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts, attachment-based ideas to untangle relationship patterns, dialectical behavior strategies for strong emotions, and mindfulness to build calm and clarity. She adapts what she offers to match goals and preferences. Across 11 years of practice she has worked with many kinds of concerns and backgrounds.
Her sessions aim to be warm and nonjudgmental, with clear information and practical tools. Humor and respect are part of how she connects. People start by sharing what matters to them and what they hope to change.
From there she and the client set small goals and try approaches that feel right for that person.
How Somatic and Talk Approaches Work Online
Somatic work pays attention to the body and its sensations as part of healing. In sessions this might mean noticing breathing, posture, or tension and using gentle movement or grounding practices to reduce overwhelm. It can help when feelings seem trapped in the body after stress or trauma.Attachment-based ideas focus on patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current responses. Therapy looks at how those patterns show up now and practices new ways to relate that feel safer and more satisfying.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems with sleep or eating because it breaks issues into clear steps to change.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort. Together they try things, check what helps, and adjust over time.
Online sessions make this flexibility easier. Video calls allow face-to-face connection when practicing breath or movement cues. Phone sessions can fit busy schedules and feel less formal for some people. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone check in, try short coping strategies, or follow up between meetings. These options help people access consistent care around work, family, or travel.
