About Jamielyn
Jamielyn "Jamie" Yates is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and low self-esteem. She describes her work in clear, practical terms and aims to make therapy feel straightforward and useful for everyday life. Jamie works from Missouri and offers care in English.
Jamie uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and build better coping skills.
Background and approach
She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help clients notice what matters and take small steps toward it. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on skills people can use between meetings. Her approach treats thoughts and behaviors as things that once helped people get by but that can later get in the way.
She helps clients identify patterns that limit them and then practices alternatives in session. The work often focuses on emotion regulation, communication, and reducing problematic behaviors tied to addiction or self-harm. Jamie has five years of experience working directly with these concerns.
She aims to be nonjudgmental and attentive, listening first before suggesting specific strategies. People who prefer clear feedback and skills-based work often find this style helpful. Practical matters like coping with life transitions, grief and end-of-life issues, gender questions, and relationship styles such as non-monogamy are within her focus areas.
Therapy is about steady changes and small wins, and Jamie structures sessions to support that progress.
Practical therapy approaches for online care
Jamie commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to reduce intense reactions and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, day-to-day challenges, and personal preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress is made and as new needs appear.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching, phone sessions can make check-ins easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter-focused exchanges, and text messaging is useful for ongoing reminders and brief reflections between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
