Jamey Ivey, LCPC

Jamey Ivey is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people make clear, practical changes to daily thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on skills from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotional regulation and coping tools.

She has 21 years of work experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression. Jamey focuses on intimacy-related worries and life transitions, and she addresses problems such as attachment and abandonment concerns. Her approach centers on identifying patterns that cause pain and building small, steady steps toward relief.

Sessions emphasize skill-building and concrete strategies. Clients learn ways to manage intense emotions, reduce unhelpful thinking, and improve communication. Jamey frames therapy as a collaborative effort where the client’s knowledge about their life guides the work.

She also helps with caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, codependency, and substance-related challenges. Practical tools for coping with isolation, impulsivity, and hoarding are offered when they fit a person’s goals. Jamey aims to match techniques to the specific problem at hand.

People who choose her can expect straightforward language and an emphasis on usable skills. Her goal is to support and empower clients to take steps toward a more satisfying life. Jamey encourages courage and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How CBT and DBT translate to online therapy

Jamey uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change everyday thoughts and behaviors that keep problems alive. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that can be practiced between meetings to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-derived tools are useful for managing intense feelings, reducing impulsive actions, and improving communication in difficult situations.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That conversation guides which skills and exercises are prioritized during online sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and circumstances. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided skills practice, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing skill coaching between appointments. This range of options helps people fit therapy into daily life while keeping focus on practical progress.
