Jamielyn 'Jamie' Yates, LPC

Jamielyn 'Jamie' Yates is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, and low self-esteem. She writes plainly and listens without judgment to help people sort through what feels overwhelming. Jamie focuses on practical steps aimed at making daily life easier and more manageable.

Jamie draws on five years of counseling experience. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to build small, usable changes over time.

Her work often looks at patterns that once helped a person cope but now cause problems. She talks through those patterns and helps people develop alternatives that better support their goals. That can mean learning new ways to handle strong emotions, manage cravings, or repair communication problems.

Jamie also addresses issues like jealousy, codependency, grief and end-of-life concerns, gender dysphoria, and relationship styles such as non-monogamy. She helps people facing guilt, shame, loneliness, paranoia, phobias, and struggles with self-harm or self-love. Sessions aim to be straightforward, with clear skills and homework when useful.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach where goals are set together and progress is checked often. Jamie emphasizes practical coping tools and steady steps toward a life that feels more livable and aligned with personal values.

How therapy approaches translate online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems like phobias or addictive patterns. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to help manage intense feelings and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try, based on needs, goals, and what feels usable. Sessions often mix techniques so people can practice skills and see what helps most for their situation.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. That said, online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break, and let people meet from places with quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth needs. Licensed professionals tailor pace and homework to fit a client's daily routine so therapy supports meaningful, doable change.
