About Jamie
Jamie Schwartz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) based in New York with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, eating issues, anger, relationship troubles, grief, and other mood and coping challenges. Sessions address both immediate concerns and practical steps for moving forward.
Jamie practices in a client-centered way. That means she focuses on what matters to the person sitting across from her and adapts the pace to their needs. She uses clear, conversational language and helps clients name patterns that keep them stuck. Many people come with anger that shows up as snapping at loved ones, bottled resentment, or trouble managing frustration at work, and she helps them look at the triggers and responses behind those reactions.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. Those tools are used to identify unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and build skills for handling strong feelings. She also brings experience with trauma-informed practices when past hurts affect present behavior.
Clients often leave sessions with concrete coping steps they can try between meetings. Jamie also supports people dealing with body image, codependency, ADHD, mood disorders, panic, and women's issues. Her approach combines real-world problem solving with regular check-ins about what is and isn't working.
Her background includes long-term work with substance use and mental health concerns across community and clinical settings. That experience informs practical strategies for relapse prevention, emotion regulation, and improving day-to-day functioning.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person needs, helping them set the pace and topics for each session. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jamie will collaborate with a client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on what is proving useful in day-to-day life.
