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. She has supported people facing a wide range of challenges, including traumatic brain injury and concussion, depression, anxiety, women's issues, relationship difficulties, child and adult ADHD, chronic pain, learning and academic struggles, workplace problems, self-esteem concerns, chronic illness, and adjustment to injury or illness. MD stands for Doctor of Medicine, a credential Dr. Spohn holds in addition to her licensure as a psychologist.

Her therapeutic approach balances empathy and directness. She aims to create a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate environment while also encouraging clients to increase independence and accept responsibility for change. Dr. Spohn primarily uses cognitive behavioral therapy - a focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - and she integrates other theoretical perspectives when they fit an individual's needs. She emphasizes strengths-based work and a positive approach to problem solving, tailoring interventions to each person's situation and welcoming feedback throughout the process.

Dr. Spohn communicates with clients on a predictable schedule, typically responding once and sometimes twice each weekday. She does not generally respond on Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays unless special circumstances apply. The platform's Urgent button should be reserved for true crisis situations that require an immediate life-safety response; messages sent over a weekend or holiday using that button will likely not receive a reply until the next business day unless they meet the criteria for an immediate crisis.

When clients schedule live sessions with Dr. Spohn, those sessions are offered as live text only - no video or audio - and are arranged in 30-minute blocks. Clients may schedule one live text session per week and may also write in their messaging space as often as needed, with an expected response within 24 to 48 hours Monday through Friday. Dr. Spohn approaches each case individually and looks forward to collaborating with clients on their goals.
