About Jamie
Jamie Ray is a licensed counselor who uses practical, down-to-earth methods to help people manage stress and overwhelming emotions. She holds licenses as an LCMHC and an LCPC and brings ten years of professional experience in clinical work. Jamie keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to each person.
Her approach centers on acceptance and behavioral change. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, clarify values, and take small steps toward goals.
Background and approach
Jamie combines techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness so clients learn skills they can use between sessions. She also draws on client-centered and emotionally focused ideas to build a calm, trusting space. That means she listens closely and tailors conversations to each person's pace.
People often work on anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and the effects of trauma. Jamie has a broad range of focus areas including parenting concerns, relationship troubles, grief, and work-related stress. She also supports people dealing with addiction, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues tied to adoption or caregiving.
Her background includes work with long-term mental health programs and community services. Sessions are offered in English and provided from Montana. Jamie describes the first step as often the hardest, and she aims to make the process easier by working collaboratively on clear, manageable goals.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their needs. The format and pacing are adjusted to each person's situation and daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or depression; it often includes concrete exercises to practice between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and understanding so people feel heard and can explore their goals at their own pace.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That plan can change over time as progress and feedback guide the work.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face to face from wherever they are; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick reflections, or regular support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting, or medical care while maintaining consistent progress.
