02 · In Jamie's own words

What Jamie says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

Hi! I am Rose. I am a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) and Registered Nurse. I appreciated serving patients and their parents at Children's National, one of the top ten pediatric hospitals in the US. My life goal was to obtain my Master's Degree. As a nurse, I enjoyed providing emtional and educational support to my families and chose to follow my joy and attended The University of Maryland for my BS and MS in Family Studies, one of the top three educational programs for becoming a Marriage and Family Therapist in the US. My LCMFT program taught me to look at challenges that happen inside us and between us. As a nurse and Marriage and Family therapist, I look at the entire person-physical. mental and emotional.

As a nurse I was educated in the "medical model" where dis-ease is seen as being "in the person". As a Marriage and Famiy therapist, I was trained in "systems theory" which looks not only at how we interact with ourselves internally, but looks at the system we live in, for any arrangement of family, and how our interactions with others impacts our mental health. For example, is a client depressed because of an internal imbalance of chemistry, and/or is the client depressed due to pressure to succeed in school, fights with his parents about his grades, and fights with his parents and siblings about his friends.

To treat a client I look at internal and external factors that impact a client's mental health. I help clients set goals, look at what is going well in their life and what is not serving them anymore and help them change their interactions inside themselves and with others. I help clients to find their "voice" to help them change the outcome of their day to day lived experience at home, work and play. I find this approach comprehensive and uplifting. I enjoy working with clients and see everyone as resilient. I am a strength-based therapist. It takes courage to ask for help and enter therapy. I see a client's strengths from day one!! It is a joy to help people "rescue themselves" and learn to live their best lives.

03 · How Jamie works

The 4 approaches Jamie lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Jamie lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Jamie's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Jamie runs a session.

Client-Centred TherapyPerson-centred · Rogerian

The therapist does not steer toward a technique or a diagnosis. They offer sustained, non-judgemental attention and reflect back what they hear, on the premise that people find their own direction when they are genuinely listened to. Often what people mean by “someone who just gets it”.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

Trauma-Focused TherapyTF-CBT · trauma-informed

CBT adapted for people whose difficulty is rooted in a frightening or overwhelming event. Pacing is the point: safety and stabilisation come first, the memory itself is approached gradually and only when you are ready, and the aim is that recalling it stops hijacking the present.

Internal Family SystemsIFS

Treats the mind as made up of parts - the critic, the one who withdraws, the one that keeps everything running - each of which is trying to protect you. The work is getting to know them rather than overruling them.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Jamie practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Jamie's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Jamie at this point.

2. Naming Jamie specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Jamie is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Jamie.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

4 questions worth asking Jamie

Built from what Jamie actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Jamie's - Jamie has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “With 22 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”

  Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

Where every line on this page came from

Jamie's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Jamie. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
