Jamielyn 'Jamie' Yates , LPC

Jamielyn 'Jamie' Yates is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, loneliness, self-esteem struggles, stress-management challenges, and addiction concerns. Clients have said they appreciate her nonjudgmental stance and listening skills, and she centers compassion alongside practical skill-building in her work.

Jamie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients identify patterns that once served a purpose but now interfere with building and maintaining a life worth living. She helps clients recognize thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of change, develop concrete coping strategies, and practice new ways of responding to stress and relationships. Her approach emphasizes clear techniques, real-world practice, and collaborative problem solving aimed at reducing suffering and supporting movement toward a more satisfying, purposeful life.

Therapeutic Approaches Used in Online Sessions

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Jamielyn 'Jamie' Yates commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns - it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and addictive behaviors and helps clients build practical coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - it can support people managing intense emotions, relationship challenges, and patterns of self-harm urges or crisis responses. She may also incorporate Mindfulness Therapy to help clients develop present-moment awareness and self-compassion, which can reduce rumination and improve stress response.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Jamie works collaboratively with clients to determine the best fit based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and life transitions. These formats make it easier to attend regularly, practice new skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals while applying strategies in everyday contexts.
