About Jamie
Jamie Ray is a licensed counselor who focuses on practical, down-to-earth care for people feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She is a Montana-based clinician with a decade of professional experience and many more years working in the mental health field. Jamie speaks plainly and meets people where they are.
Her approach centers on helping people notice what matters to them and build small habits that move them toward those values.
Background and approach
She uses strategies from acceptance and commitment work and cognitive behavioral ideas to help manage difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions often include real-life problem solving and simple experiments to test out new ways of responding.
Jamie aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about trauma, depression, relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, substance concerns, and struggles with motivation or self-esteem. She also supports those coping with bipolar challenges, ADHD, caregiver fatigue, chronic health issues, and identity questions related to LGBT concerns. In sessions she blends listening with concrete tools.
That might mean learning mindfulness skills to steady attention, trying brief behavior changes to improve sleep, or working on communication patterns that reduce tension at home. She frames work as a collaboration and checks in about what is most helpful. People can expect clear, practical steps between sessions.
Jamie encourages tracked practice and small adjustments that add up over time. The focus is on manageable change, not perfect progress.
Using ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness Online
Jamie often uses acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety, improve mood, or help with sleep. Mindfulness-based work teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work and Jamie treats that as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust the plan when something is not working. This collaborative process helps match tools to real-life needs.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and visual cues for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be a good option for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, homework, and ongoing encouragement between sessions. Together these options offer flexibility so people can keep progress going around work, family, or other commitments.
