About Jamielyn
Jamielyn 'Jamie' Yates is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, addictions, and major life changes. Jamie uses clear, direct conversation to help clients notice what keeps them stuck and identify steps forward.
Jamie draws on five years of clinical experience to guide practical change. She often uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build more helpful habits. She also brings in skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help manage intense emotions and improve day-to-day coping.
In sessions Jamie listens without judgment and helps people untangle behaviors that once protected them but now cause problems. She frames change as learning new skills and making small, realistic shifts rather than suddenly fixing everything. Clients work together with her to set goals that feel meaningful and doable.
Jamie also pays attention to relational patterns like codependency and communication struggles. She helps people practice new ways of speaking up, setting boundaries, and reconnecting to what matters. Work may include short experiments between sessions and pacing that fits the person’s life.
Her approach aims to reduce suffering while building a more sustainable, valued life. People who want straightforward, skill-based support and a calm, listening presence may find her style helpful.
How Jamie Uses Skill-Based Approaches Online
Jamie commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and small experiments. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to manage strong feelings and improve everyday functioning.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Jamie will work together with each person to pick which strategies fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative fit is checked and adjusted as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online options, confirm the available session formats before booking since current formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice skills in their regular routines and then bring questions back into the next session. Licensed professionals can help adapt CBT and DBT exercises to work well in an online setting, and Jamie will tailor exercises to what works best for each person.
