Jamey Ivey, LCPC

Jamey Ivey is a licensed clinical professional counselor who focuses on practical skills and clear tools. She uses straightforward strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship concerns. Jamey emphasizes strengths and aims to make therapy a manageable step for someone who wants change.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy for building coping skills. In sessions she teaches concrete techniques such as grounding, emotion regulation, and problem-solving so clients can use them day to day. These are taught in short, usable steps rather than long lectures.

Jamey has more than 21 years of professional experience in behavioral health in Montana. That background includes work with people dealing with attachment difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing depression, loneliness, and major life transitions.

Additional focus areas include caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency, substance use challenges, communication problems, and navigating divorce or separation. Her approach centers on collaboration - she helps clients set goals and chooses techniques that match those goals.

She speaks English and practices in Montana as an LCPC, which stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on therapist availability.

How CBT and DBT Shape Online Therapy Sessions

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress by breaking concerns into concrete steps and homework exercises.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for regulating strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is often used when people need clear tools to manage intense feelings or improve communication patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose techniques that match goals and daily life. Sessions are guided by client needs, with adjustments made over time based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed, or let someone avoid camera use when that helps them focus. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help people keep therapy consistent with their routines.
