About Jamielyn
Jamielyn 'Jamie' Yates is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem concerns, depression, and major life changes. Jamie uses practical strategies from approaches like CBT and DBT to help people manage symptoms and make clearer choices.
Jamie focuses on everyday problems that can pile up in early adulthood, such as feeling stuck, isolated, or unsure about life purpose. She talks through current patterns of thinking and behavior and looks for small changes that reduce distress. Sessions tend to emphasize skills people can use between meetings, not just talk during them.
Her background includes work with people experiencing personality disorder symptoms, bipolar disorder, loneliness, and difficulties around relationships and boundaries. She also addresses issues like codependency, communication problems, grief and end-of-life concerns, and questions about gender identity. Jamie aims to help clients recognize which coping habits once helped them and which now get in the way of daily life.
In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and dialectical behavior therapy to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques also appear when the situation calls for them. The emphasis is practical problem solving alongside emotional skill-building.
People who want clear, direct work on symptoms and habits may find this approach useful. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details to make sure they fit your needs.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Jamie uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy often in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help with intense feelings and unstable relationships.She also uses mindfulness techniques to increase present-moment awareness and solution-focused strategies to set practical, short-term goals. These approaches are described plainly in sessions so clients can practice tools between meetings and see concrete progress over time.
Choosing which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist reviews your concerns, goals, and preferences and then recommends a mix of techniques. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change as needed.
