Dr. Jamie Spohn , MD

Dr. Jamie Spohn, MD, is a licensed psychologist with more than 11 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. She has supported people facing a broad range of challenges, including traumatic brain injury and concussion, depression, anxiety, ADHD in children and adults, chronic pain and illness, self-esteem and relationship concerns, parenting and blended family issues, grief, and difficulties with work or academics. Her practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while maintaining an empathic but direct style aimed at helping clients build independence and assume responsibility for change.

Dr. Spohn’s primary orientation is cognitive behavioral therapy, and she integrates other theoretical approaches when it benefits a particular case. She focuses on identifying and using areas of strength to compensate for weaker areas, and she prefers a positive, problem-solving stance. Each case is treated individually and she welcomes client feedback as part of the process.

Dr. Spohn typically responds once or possibly twice per weekday and does not normally respond on weekends or holidays except in special circumstances. She notes that the urgent button is intended for immediate life-or-death crisis situations and may not receive a response over a weekend or holiday unless it meets that criterion. When live sessions are scheduled, she currently offers live text sessions only, booked in 30-minute blocks; clients may schedule one live text session per week and may write in their room as often as needed with an expected response within 24 to 48 hours Monday through Friday.

Dr. Spohn is not currently accepting clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Jamie Spohn draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is often applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with focus and motivation. Motivational interviewing is used to help people find their own reasons for change and to strengthen readiness and commitment, which can be especially useful for issues like health behavior, adherence to treatment, or managing chronic conditions. Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences and emotional patterns influence current relationships and self-understanding, offering insight for longstanding relational or self-esteem concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Spohn works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and will tailor methods or combine approaches to find what fits best for each individual.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for busy schedules and make it easier to maintain continuity of care from different locations. These formats allow therapists and licensed professionals to offer regular support, adapt session types to client comfort, and integrate brief check-ins or in-between-session communication to reinforce progress.
