Jamey Ivey is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Montana with 21 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency, communication problems, and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and intended for adults seeking clearer direction or better coping strategies.

Jamey uses practical skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people manage strong emotions and change unhelpful thought patterns. In sessions she teaches specific coping skills, works on communication strategies, and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Conversations are direct and focused on what can change now, with step-by-step tools to try between meetings.

She often helps people who feel empty, isolated, or overwhelmed after big life changes. That includes separation or divorce, caregiver strain, and recovery from substance problems or domestic violence. The work can include looking at attachment and abandonment themes that affect relationships and intimacy.

Clients can expect practical goal-setting and skill practice in session. Jamey emphasizes strengths people already have and builds on them. The approach is collaborative - she helps people figure out what to try, then supports efforts to make small changes.

How CBT and DBT shape online sessions

Jamey draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people manage distress and change patterns that get in the way of daily life. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to see what helps. It suits problems like anxiety, depression, and stuck thinking by giving clear exercises to practice between sessions. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. It is useful for managing intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulsive reactions.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest which skills to try first. Expect ongoing review and adjustment so the approach fits the person’s needs rather than being fixed at the start.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into work and family routines, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. If a person prefers fewer visual demands, different formats can also reduce screen time. Check the site matching steps to learn which formats are currently offered and to schedule a first session.
