About Jamie
Jamie Ray is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana with ten years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation or confidence concerns. Jamie focuses on practical support and clear steps rather than jargon.
Her approach centers on conversational, client-centered work. Sessions usually involve talking through current problems, noticing patterns in thoughts and behavior, and practicing small changes that feel manageable. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to test unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness to build steadier attention.
Jamie also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and take workable actions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy influences her when relationships or intense feelings are in focus. These methods are used together to address things like sleep problems, grief, addiction concerns, and challenges related to caregiving or chronic illness.
She has a long history in mental health settings before moving into clinical counseling. That background shaped a straightforward style that keeps sessions focused on what matters now. Clients can expect an emphasis on skills they can use between meetings.
Jamie works with a wide range of issues including career stress, parenting strain, identity questions for LGBT people, and problems linked to adoption or blended families. She asks about goals early so sessions match what a person wants to change.
How Jamie uses ACT, CBT and client-centered work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It can help with avoidance, stuck routines, or deciding what to do next when anxiety feels limiting.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to test and change unhelpful thinking. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems by breaking issues into manageable steps.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and building understanding so the person feels heard and can explore options at their own pace. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort through hard feelings or make decisions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. This means trying things, adjusting methods, and checking in about what helps.
Session formats are not detailed here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that remote sessions let them attend from a quieter setting, use only audio if preferred, or schedule meetings that better fit work and family rhythms.
