Jamie-Lee Nietupski

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


Hi! I’m Jamie and I’m really excited to be a part of your journey. I have a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and a master’s degree in professional counseling. I have over four years of experience providing psychotherapy and about six years of experience working in corrections. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with people from so many different backgrounds and at very different points in their lives.

When it comes to therapy, I’m pretty down-to-earth. I’m supportive, empathetic, and I definitely believe there is room for humor in therapy too. I want our sessions to feel like a place where you can just be yourself. You don’t have to have the perfect words, know exactly what you’re feeling, or have everything figured out before you walk through the door. That’s what we’re here to work through together.

I believe one of the most important parts of counseling is meeting people where they are. Life gets messy, and sometimes we just need someone in our corner who will listen, support us, challenge us when we need it, and remind us of the strengths we may have forgotten we have.

I’m looking forward to getting to know you, hearing your story, celebrating your wins (even the little ones!), and helping you work toward becoming the version of yourself you want to be.

I earned my master’s degree in social work from George Williams College and hold licensure in both Illinois and Wisconsin. My clinical experience spans work with diverse populations, including teens and adults navigating a wide range of mental health challenges. I am trained in several evidence‐based therapeutic modalities—CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR—which allows me to tailor treatment to each person’s needs and support meaningful, sustainable change.

I provide individual therapy as well as family and couples work. I value helping people move through life’s stressors, strengthen their coping skills, and recognize the progress they make toward their goals.

If you have questions about the services and supports available to you, your family, or your loved ones, I’m here to help. I’d also be glad to share more about what I enjoy most in the therapeutic process and how we can work together to build a healthier, more grounded life.
