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. MD stands for Doctor of Medicine, reflecting her medical training alongside her psychological licensure. She brings focused expertise in traumatic brain injury and concussion care and addresses a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, women's issues, relationship and family difficulties, child and adult ADHD, chronic pain and illness, learning and academic challenges, work-related problems, self-esteem, and adjustment to injury and illness.

Her approach is grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She combines an empathic and supportive style with clear, direct feedback, encouraging clients to build independence and accept responsibility for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is her primary orientation, and she integrates other theoretical perspectives on a case-by-case basis. She emphasizes strengths-based, positive problem-solving and tailors treatment plans to each individual while welcoming client feedback throughout the process.

Dr. Spohn typically responds one to two times per day Monday through Friday and does not usually respond on Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays except in special circumstances. The urgent button should be used only for immediate life-or-death crisis situations and may not receive a response outside regular business days unless it fits that narrow criterion. For scheduled live sessions she currently offers live text only, not video or audio; live text appointments are booked in 30-minute blocks, available once per week, with the option to write in the therapy room as often as needed and expect a response within 24 to 48 hours Monday through Friday.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Dr. Spohn uses well-established approaches to help clients make practical changes and gain insight. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing new skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress while improving daily functioning. Motivational Interviewing emphasizes collaboration and respect for personal goals, helping people find intrinsic motivation to change behaviors related to health, relationships, or work. Psychodynamic Therapy explores patterns from past relationships and experiences to increase self-understanding and inform current choices.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Spohn works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance supports realistic, sustainable change while honoring each client’s pace and priorities.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility to connect from different locations and on varied schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions regularly, and integrate therapeutic work into everyday routines with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt methods to an online format.
