Dr. Jamie Spohn

Dr. Jamie Spohn is a psychologist based in Maryland with 11 years of experience. She focuses on practical, goal-focused care for people managing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. Her tone is supportive and direct, and she aims to help people build on strengths to cope better day to day.

She often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice patterns and try different behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit when someone needs help finding internal motivation for change. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas when exploring how past experiences affect current feelings and relationships.

Dr. Spohn has worked across age ranges, including children, adolescents, and adults, and has particular familiarity with traumatic brain injury, concussion, chronic pain and illness, and issues related to women's health. She also addresses parenting concerns, blended family strain, caregiver stress, work and academic difficulties, and self-esteem challenges.

Her approach is empathic and practical. She gives direct feedback and invites clients to try concrete strategies between meetings. She encourages people to notice and use their strengths while taking responsibility for small steps of change.

For messaging and scheduling, she typically responds once or twice a day Monday through Friday and does not usually reply on weekends or holidays. Live text sessions are available in 30-minute blocks, and clients may write in their room with expected responses within 24-48 hours on weekdays.

How her approaches translate to online care

Dr. Spohn uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes that reduce stress and anger. These are active steps such as testing new reactions, scheduling small experiments, and practicing coping skills between sessions.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. This approach focuses on listening, building motivation, and setting achievable goals that feel personally important.

Deciding on an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and goals, and together they will choose strategies that fit. Plans can change as progress is made or new challenges appear.

For practical online work, she offers scheduled live text sessions in 30-minute blocks and allows written messages with responses within 24-48 hours Monday through Friday. Confirm the exact session options when booking so they match your schedule and daily routine. Online work can make it easier to fit check-ins into busy days, use short focused sessions for immediate problem-solving, and continue with therapy despite relocation or life changes.
