About Jamielyn

Jamielyn 'Jamie' Yates is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with five years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and transitions in life, and also addresses a wide range of related concerns such as codependency, communication struggles, grief and hospice issues, and questions around identity and relationships.

Jamie uses evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), along with mindfulness and solution-focused strategies, to help clients identify unhelpful patterns and build more useful coping skills. Her approach emphasizes empathy and a nonjudgmental listening stance, supporting clients as they examine thoughts and behaviors that once helped them survive but now limit wellbeing.

She aims to empower people to move toward a life that feels more meaningful and manageable by collaborating on concrete tools and goals. Jamie frames therapy as a practical process of change, helping clients reduce distress and increase skills for handling emotions, relationships, and life challenges.

Online therapy options and evidence-based approaches

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then replacing them with more adaptive patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skill training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then tailors a mix of strategies to suit those needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and provides flexible ways to practice skills between sessions. These formats allow ongoing contact with a licensed professional and support consistent progress while accommodating different schedules and communication styles.
