About Jamie
Jamie Ray is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) and a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, motivation and self-esteem concerns, and parenting strains. Jamie lists family and parenting among her focus areas and helps people navigate these pressures while balancing work and home life.
She prefers straightforward, talk-based work. Sessions often begin with the immediate problem and move toward practical steps a person can take between meetings. Jamie draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thinking patterns that make problems worse. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas and mindfulness practices to help people live alongside difficult feelings without being driven by them.
Jamie has a background spanning community mental health and longer-term counseling roles. Over a decade she has supported people coping with grief, relationship strain, addictions, bipolar mood issues, and caregiver stress. She also works with concerns related to adoption and foster care, fertility and blended-family challenges, and first responder job stress.
In sessions she offers a calm pace and direct feedback. Conversations aim to clarify what matters most to the client and to set manageable goals. Practical homework or short skill practices are used when helpful to build momentum between meetings.
Jamie provides services in English and practices in Montana. She uses a subscription billing model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values and small committed actions that move life in a meaningful direction, which can help with stress, depression, and motivation issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build different habits, useful for anxiety, sleeping problems, and low mood.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness. These practices can support coping with trauma reminders, caregiver stress, and daily overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jamie will talk with the client about goals and preferences and will recommend methods that fit those needs. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing commute time, offering shorter check-ins when needed, or making it simpler to schedule around work and family responsibilities. Licensed professionals can use a mix of conversation and short between-session exercises to help skills transfer into everyday routines.
