I don't know what I would do without Jorie. She has been so instrumental in my growth and I can think about where I was at the beginning of the year compared to where I am now, and I am in such a better place. She is amazing and I am thankful for her insight every day. Even my friends will ask me "What do you think Jorie would say about this type of situation." We all love her and her thoughtful counseling.

More about Jorie

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

I began my work in the social service field more than a decade ago, working in a wide range of therapeutic settings before laying my roots as a marriage and family therapist. From therapeutic group homes and the juvenile justice system to community mental health and private practice, I have spent years working with individuals and families in a multitude of roles.

I believe individuals, families and couples have the ability to support each other, meet each other's needs, and solve their own problems. However, sometimes circumstances arise which make this difficult. At other times, people either lose objectivity with old problems or try to solve new problems in old ways. This is when professional assistance can make a difference. I believe that we all have our own experiencing of the world around us and that these experiences shape our narrative of ourselves, our relationships with others, and how these pieces fit together in our lives. I help clients understand these narratives and past patterns of behavior, and work to find new coping skills and solutions and provide support along the way.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, client centered, and active. I believe the relationship between myself and a client sets the tone for therapy and is key to helping the client on a path to wellness and reaching their established goals. I believe in holding space for clients that feels safe and comfortable for sharing and collaboration in helping my clients reach their goals. When working with clients I generally use a combination of interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients form concrete goals with a time-limited approach. Additionally, I find a psychodynamic approach to working with clients to be helpful in meeting goals presented in our work together.

I have worked as a therapist or counselor for more than ten years, have a BA in Psychology, a MA in Child, Couple, Family Therapy, and a MBA in Healthcare Management. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of Washington, as well as child mental health specialist and maternal mental health specialist.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Jorie is as intuitive as she is experienced. I don't know how she takes my outburst paragraphs and makes them into legitimately self-aware important moments to learn from, but I'm so grateful for it and for her. She's never scared of the scary stuff.

Jorie is very attentive to my needs, always helps me understand my feelings in a way that makes sense, and overall genuinely cares about me. She's been a great help so far and I feel I'm making good progress!

So far, I'm getting value out of my relationship with Jorie. I'm not the greatest at being really honest in either my words or in my past dealings with counselors but I think due to the fact that I'm only communicating via emails it may be easier for me to stay honest and in the moment. Thank you for your help, Jorie!

Jorie is AMAZING!!! She is so easy to talk to. And always has great suggestions to try. I am beyond blessed to have her as a ear to listen during my tough times. Which have been alot and she has been there from the beginning.

I have only been working with Jorie for a short while but I feel like she really listens and does her best to support what I am working through. She has shared books, worksheets, advice, and been honest when she is not the person to talk to about a topic like child support advice. She is easy to talk to and has kind words when I just need reassurance that its normal for this process to take some time.
