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 professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem issues, and motivation concerns. Jamie often supports people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, addiction issues, grief, and life transitions.
She uses plain conversation and practical skills rather than jargon. Sessions tend to focus on noticing thoughts and feelings, building small habits, and trying new ways of relating to old problems. Jamie draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people interrupt unhelpful patterns. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas and person-centered listening to clarify values and next steps.
Her background includes many years in mental health work before clinical licensure. That experience shaped her approach to working with trauma, compassion fatigue, and first responder issues, as well as complex challenges like dissociation and bipolar mood struggles. She brings experience supporting people navigating adoption and foster care, aging concerns, chronic illness, and fertility-related stress.
In sessions Jamie aims to make things straightforward. She helps people talk plainly about shame or guilt, test small changes, and notice what matters most. Conversations are collaborative and focused on practical moves that fit everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that align with personal values rather than getting stuck trying to remove difficult feelings. It can be useful for chronic shame, guilt, avoidance, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and then testing small changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of present-moment experience, which supports anxiety, sleep problems, and emotion regulation.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to set goals and try approaches that fit the person’s needs and preferences. Over a few sessions the pair will notice what helps and adjust the plan together.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and enabling meetings from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach mindfulness skills, practice behavioral experiments, and process difficult feelings in ways that fit a client’s daily routine.
