Jamie Ray, LCMHC, LCPC

Jamie Ray is a licensed counselor who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. She holds a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and brings a decade of professional experience in Montana to her work.

Her sessions focus on simple skills that can be used day to day. She helps clients notice thought patterns, try small behavior changes, and build routines that support better sleep, mood, and motivation. Conversations are plain and direct, aimed at solving specific problems rather than piling on jargon.

Jamie creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about painful events, relationship strains, parenting stress, or struggles with identity and self-esteem. She draws from cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness so people can practice new ways of responding to old triggers. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy concepts are included to clarify values and guide next steps.

She has worked across a range of settings and brings ten years of licensed clinical experience to clients in Montana. Jamie also addresses issues related to caregiving, chronic health challenges, addictions, and first responder concerns. Her approach blends practical coaching with emotional work so clients leave with concrete tools and clearer goals.

People who want straightforward, compassionate help with everyday life changes often find her style approachable. She encourages small steps, regular practice, and honest conversation to make steady progress.

Using CBT and ACT online to address everyday challenges

Jamie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and lift mood. CBT focuses on practical steps and experiments you can try between sessions to see what works.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps clarify personal values and encourages actions that match those values even when emotions are difficult. ACT can be useful for coping with chronic stress, grief, and motivation problems. Client-Centered ideas shape the sessions too, with an emphasis on listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust as needed. That way the plan reflects the client's needs rather than a fixed technique alone.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets you work face to face for skill practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, chat or text can be useful for quick check-ins or between-session support, and different formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life.
