Tiffany Riley, LCPC

Tiffany Riley is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 22 years in behavioral health. She practices in Montana and uses a practical, person-focused style to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting challenges, and more. Tiffany keeps sessions straightforward and centered on the issues a person brings to therapy.

She listens first and follows the client’s lead about what to address. Her work emphasizes respect, genuine concern, and empathy. She encourages people to name what feels hard and to try small, manageable steps toward change.

Tiffany draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy among other approaches. She uses tools from these models to help with unhelpful thoughts, emotion regulation, and relationship patterns. Sessions mix practical skill-building with space to talk about difficult events.

Over two decades of experience inform her calm and steady presence. She asks questions, offers options, and supports people as they try strategies outside sessions. Therapy is framed as a process that requires time and effort, and she helps clients set realistic goals and track progress.

People who prefer a collaborative, warm, and direct style often find her approach useful. She works with a broad range of concerns including grief, eating issues, anger, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. Tiffany invites prospective clients to begin by describing what matters most to them.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing more balanced ways of thinking. Online sessions can include worksheets, thought records, and short behavioral experiments to try between meetings to see what changes work.

Client-centered therapy centers on listening and responding to what each person brings. In virtual sessions this means space to tell your story and have it reflected back, helping you find your own priorities and pace for change.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Skills like distress tolerance and emotion regulation can be practiced in video or text formats and then reviewed with the therapist.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit. That collaboration helps shape an individualized plan rather than a one-size-fits-all path.

Online therapy provides flexible ways to connect: video calls for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging for brief support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to practice skills regularly.
