Jamie Ray, LCMHC, LCPC

Jamie Ray is a licensed counselor who brings ten years of clinical experience to her work in Montana. She holds LCMHC and LCPC credentials and focuses on helping people facing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and motivation or self-esteem struggles. Jamie aims to make the first step into therapy less daunting and affirms the courage it takes to begin.

She creates a calm and accepting space where clients can speak openly about thoughts and feelings. Conversations focus on practical next steps that fit a person’s life. Jamie blends approaches to match each person’s needs rather than relying on a single technique.

Her experience includes supporting people with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, grief, addiction, and workplace or career stress. She also helps those managing chronic health issues, caregiver strain, and the challenges that come with aging and geriatric issues. Jamie works with people navigating family changes such as adoption, blended households, separation, or fertility struggles.

Therapeutic methods she uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. These approaches guide practical skill work, emotional processing, and values-based decision making. Therapy sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort.

Jamie emphasizes plain language and straightforward tools. Sessions tend to focus on what someone can try between visits, ways to cope in the moment, and small behavior changes that add up over time. She encourages people to name what they want to change and then build steps toward those goals.

How Jamie’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavior experiments to change mood and functioning. It is often applied to anxiety, sleep problems, and low motivation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person sets the pace and the therapist listens closely to understand what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jamie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and recommend strategies that fit those needs. She works collaboratively to try approaches and adjust them based on what helps most over time.
