About Jamie

She has worked in mental health for over 15 years and has about 10 years in licensed clinical practice as a LCMHC and LCPC in Montana. She aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone feeling overwhelmed.
She listens without judgment and focuses on what matters to each person. Sessions are calm and straightforward.

She also supports people facing grief, relationship strain, caregiving stress, addiction concerns, and challenges linked to life changes.
Her background includes work across clinical and community settings, which informs a practical approach. Jamie blends methods to match the person in front of her rather than following a single script. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and emotional connection.
People bring varied challenges such as sleep problems, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, fertility or adoption stress, chronic illness, and first responder issues. She is also experienced with coping after natural or human-caused disasters and the strain that follows.
Jamie offers direct, compassionate care and a steady presence while people work toward clearer priorities and practical changes. To begin, prospective clients follow the site Start Therapy process to match and schedule with her.
How these therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports people in understanding emotion and improving how they form and maintain close relationships.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Jamie works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Over the first few sessions she will check in about what helps and adjust plans based on what is working.
The original biography does not list which online or in-person formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on particularly hectic days. Some approaches, like CBT exercises or ACT worksheets, adapt well to remote sessions, while EFT work focuses on emotional connection that can also be addressed through regular video or phone conversations. Ask about session length and format during the scheduling step to find a setup that fits everyday life.
