Jamie Frederick

My name is Jamie Frederick and I am an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) in Illinois. My approach to therapy is a collaborative and therapeutic relationship where we work together to help you achieve your goals and live a balanced life. I look forward to supporting you in managing stressors and conditions like depression, anxiety, relationships, career, college, parenting, life transitions, achieving balance, and more.

My approach

I take a client-centered and holistic approach to therapy, helping you achieve balance in your life in a way that works for you! I have training in and utilize various theoretical approaches to meet individual client needs including trauma-focused, CBT, DBT, solution-focused, ACT, motivational interviewing, strengths-based, and more. My goal is to meet you where you are, support and gently challenge you, and work together to help you live your best life.

My focus

I have over 10 years of experience working with clients of all ages, including children, couples, and families. On this platform, I am excited to work with individuals ages 18+. I treat clients with a variety of conditions, including, depression, anxiety, interpersonal/relationship stress, parenting concerns, career/college challenges, mood disorders, and life transitions.

My communication style

My goal is always to provide you with a safe, comfortable, supportive, collaborative, and easygoing environment where you can be yourself. My clients describe me as down-to-earth, genuine, and caring.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was attracted to counseling when I met a particularly dedicated and competent group of school counselors during my previous life as a college program manager. I saw their genuine care and desire to help, and the positive impact they had on so many of their student clients. I wanted to help others and make that same impact. Over time, my career took me from schools to alternative schools to clinics to telehealth to a large hospital system. My drive is still the same, help others and make a positive impact.

My goals for you

I believe in client-directed goal setting; you determine what you want to work on and I'll help and support you in achieving it!

My first session with you

During our first session, we'll go over general information about therapy (confidentiality, scheduling, expectations, etc.) review your history and any requests/concerns, and start to get to know each other. I like to ask, "what brings you here and how can I help?"
