About Jamie

Jamie Ray is a licensed clinician based in Montana who focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and self esteem. She is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with around ten years of professional experience. Jamie aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable and straightforward for people who are nervous about taking that step.

She keeps sessions grounded and direct. Conversations cover thoughts, feelings, and everyday behaviors. She helps people notice patterns that get in the way and practices small changes that build confidence and reduce worry.

Her approach draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral strategies, emotionally focused ways of looking at relationships, and mindfulness tools. That mix lets her match methods to what a person needs most in the moment. Sessions often include practical exercises and real-life experiments between meetings.

Jamie has long experience working across many concerns beyond anxiety and mood, including addiction, grief, caregiving stress, parenting, work and career issues, and challenges tied to identity like LGBT concerns. She also has experience with trauma, dissociation, and first responder stress.

She invites people to begin with a simple first step and treats the early sessions as a chance to find the right fit. If you want straightforward, calm support for building self worth and coping with life changes, Jamie offers steady, down-to-earth guidance.

How Jamie's approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and building a steadier sense of self. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses clear strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with depression, sleeping issues, and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and validation so people feel understood before they try new skills or shifts in behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jamie works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. Early sessions are used to try techniques and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow a brief check-in during a work break, or make it easier to use mindfulness exercises at home. Online meetings also let the therapist guide practical homework and breathing or grounding practices between visits.
