About Jamie
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 24 years of experience, Jamie Kuzniar helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, depression, addictions, trauma, intimacy issues, parenting strains, and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on first responder concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and infidelity. Jamie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation.
Jamie frames sessions as practical conversations. She listens to the current problem, identifies immediate coping steps, and outlines longer-term goals. Sessions aim to make problems easier to understand and to create doable next steps rather than vague plans.
Her approach draws on techniques that research has shown to help with mood, anxiety, and trauma-related concerns. Jamie blends those techniques into short-term strategies and longer-term skill building. She pays attention to how stress shows up in daily life and focuses on actions that change that pattern.
For people facing loss or hospice-related strain, Jamie offers support that addresses both emotions and practical decisions. For first responders she brings awareness of occupational stress and the toll of repeated exposure to crisis. For relationship and intimacy worries she helps clarify patterns and communication habits to reduce repeated conflict.
She asks new clients to describe what’s most urgent and what they hope to change. From there she crafts a plan with clear steps and regular check-ins to track progress. Sessions are conversational and focused on what the client wants to accomplish.

How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Jamie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and symptom reduction. Cognitive-behavioral approaches help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms through concrete exercises and homework. Trauma-informed methods attend to safety and pacing, helping people process difficult memories and reduce trauma-related reactions at a manageable pace.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jamie will discuss goals, preferences, and current challenges and then suggest techniques that fit. She collaborates with each person to adjust methods as needed, checking progress and changing course when something isn’t helping.
