About Jami
Jami Winkel helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, career shifts, and major life changes. She combines empathy with practical steps so people can move from knowing what to do to actually doing it.
Background and approach
She takes a collaborative, down-to-earth approach. Sessions include talking through feelings and practicing concrete coping strategies.
Jami emphasizes connections between the body and the mind to help people notice how patterns show up physically as well as emotionally. Her work also focuses on attachment issues, avoidant personality patterns, and codependency.
She provides support around fatherhood issues, women's issues, guilt and shame, and mood concerns. Jami also helps people navigating non-monogamous relationships and those coping after natural or human-caused disasters.
Jami draws on 23 years of experience and holds a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential. She uses relational and sensorimotor ideas and pays attention to how habits form in the brain to shape lasting change.
That means sessions move beyond talk to include practical exercises and new ways of responding. People who choose Jami can expect clear, step-by-step guidance and a focus on daily skills.
She works with English-speaking clients in California and with international clients by online formats.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Jami uses relational therapy to help people look at how their patterns affect relationships. This approach focuses on here-and-now interactions and helps identify repeating patterns to change how you relate to others. Sensorimotor methods bring attention to body sensations and movement as part of healing. These techniques help with trauma responses, anxiety, and habits that live in the body rather than only in thought.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jami works collaboratively to match methods to each person's goals and preferences. Together they try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and demonstrations of body-oriented exercises. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter touchpoints, quick processing, or support between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical changes and consistent work toward goals.
