Jamie Ray, LCMHC, LCPC

Jamie Ray is a licensed counselor who practices in Montana. She holds LCMHC and LCPC credentials and brings about 10 years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Jamie speaks English and uses straightforward, practical approaches to help people start feeling more in control.

Her style centers on building an open and nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through honestly. She uses parts of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.

Jamie also draws on client-centered and emotionally focused ideas to support stronger emotional awareness and clearer communication. She has worked in multiple mental health roles for about 15 years and has roughly 10 years of direct clinical practice. That range of experience informs practical strategies for coping day to day.

She commonly helps people facing life transitions, career pressure, parenting strain, grief, relationship challenges, and burnout. Jamie includes coaching-style problem solving when helpful, for example with motivation or career direction. She encourages small, achievable steps that fit into busy lives.

To begin, people follow the site’s Start Therapy process and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling. This helps match goals and timing before the first session.

How Jamie’s approaches map to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online sessions can use ACT exercises and values work to guide practical behavior changes and reduce avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and tries new behaviors; in virtual sessions this often becomes homework-based skill practice and short behavioral experiments between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jamie will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and daily life. She listens to what’s important, tests what helps, and adjusts the plan together as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or travel by removing commute time and letting sessions happen from different locations. It also allows focused, shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed and supports using digital worksheets and between-session exercises to reinforce what is practiced in meetings.
