About Jamie
She commonly uses cognitive-behavioral methods and blends in other approaches when helpful. That means sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors. Motivational interviewing techniques help when people feel stuck or unsure about change.
Her work includes support for those recovering from traumatic brain injury and concussion, as well as people coping with chronic pain, chronic illness, and disability. She also addresses relationship and communication struggles, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and issues common to young adults and women.
Dr. Spohn favors a positive problem-solving stance. She gives direct feedback and encourages responsibility while remaining sensitive and compassionate. She asks for client input and adapts care to each person’s needs.
On scheduling and messaging she typically responds once or twice per weekday and not on weekends or holidays unless there are exceptional circumstances. Live text sessions are available in 30-minute blocks and can be scheduled once per week, with additional written messaging and replies generally within 24–48 hours Monday through Friday.

How these approaches guide online work
Dr. Spohn commonly uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns of thought that get in the way and try new behaviors that can reduce symptoms. CBT is practical and often includes small experiments people can try between sessions.Motivational interviewing is used when someone feels stuck or uncertain about change; it focuses on clarifying goals and building personal motivation rather than giving instructions. Psychodynamic ideas may be drawn on to understand repeating relationship patterns and emotional themes that affect day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and easier access to regular check-ins. This therapist provides live text sessions in 30-minute blocks and written messaging with replies generally within 24–48 hours Monday through Friday; confirm current session options before booking to match scheduling needs. Online-style care can make short focused sessions, follow-up check-ins, and gradual goal work easier to coordinate around school, work, and caregiving duties.
