Jamie Saley, LMHC

Jamie Saley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who brings a practical, research-informed approach to therapy. She emphasizes empowerment and validation while helping clients find concrete solutions to the challenges they face. Grounded in the belief that small, consistent steps lead to meaningful change, she supports clients with accountability and encouragement as they work toward their goals.

Jamie completed her master’s degree in mental health at the University of Central Florida and has accumulated broad experience across community mental health settings. Her background includes work in traditional outpatient and inpatient services, schools and clinics, substance abuse programs, and therapeutic work with both adults and children from diverse backgrounds. This variety informs a flexible practice that adapts to each client’s needs.

Trained in solution-focused methods, she integrates elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to create individualized plans. She values the science of mental health and pairs skill-building with attention to how life experiences shape present difficulties, viewing past experiences as part of a person’s ongoing story rather than obstacles to be erased.

With nine years of professional experience, Jamie tailors evidence-informed strategies to address stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, family dynamics, grief, parenting, and related challenges. She aims to collaborate with clients to identify the most useful tools and supports for lasting change, and she looks forward to helping clients move toward healthier, more fulfilling lives.

How evidence-informed approaches translate to online therapy

Jamie uses acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify what matters most to them and practice actions that align with those values. ACT focuses on building psychological flexibility and can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

She integrates attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. This approach can be useful for relationship strains, intimacy-related issues, and difficulties rooted in abandonment or adoption experiences.

Jamie also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, and coping with daily challenges. CBT supports measurable skill-building and problem-solving that clients can use between sessions.

Determining the best approach is part of the therapeutic process; Jamie collaborates with each client to tailor methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. She works with clients to try techniques, evaluate what helps, and adjust the plan together.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from a range of locations.
