Jamielyn 'Jamie' Yates

Jamielyn 'Jamie' Yates is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Jamie also addresses related concerns such as codependency, communication problems, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.

Jamie uses practical, skills-based approaches in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) methods to help people notice patterns of thinking and acting that no longer serve them. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are also part of her work when clients want concrete steps and short-term goals.

In a typical session Jamie helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She practices focused listening and offers techniques to manage stress and urges. Sessions can include skill practice, reframing thinking, and planning small changes that fit daily life.

Her background includes work with people living with mood and personality challenges, addictions, and grief or end-of-life concerns. Jamie describes many unhelpful habits as survival strategies that outlived their usefulness, and she helps people decide which strategies to keep, adapt, or replace.

People who come when they are uncertain about next steps find practical, stepwise support. Jamie guides shorter-term, goal-oriented work as well as ongoing support for managing symptoms and building clearer direction in life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Jamie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping when urges or self-destructive patterns arise.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jamie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean emphasizing skill practice one month and shifting to problem-solving or solution-focused steps the next.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and making regular check-ins easier to keep. The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can support shorter focused check-ins, skill coaching between in-person meetings, or regular weekly sessions depending on the arrangement agreed with the therapist.
