About Jamielyn
Jamielyn 'Jamie' Yates is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health and with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and questions about life purpose.
Jamie uses clear, skills-based methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and develop new coping skills. She also integrates mindfulness and solution-focused strategies to support short-term goals and day-to-day coping.
In practical terms, sessions involve talking through current problems, looking at patterns that used to help but now cause trouble, and practicing alternative responses. She focuses on reducing overwhelm and improving daily functioning rather than promising specific outcomes.
Her background includes work with anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, loneliness, self-esteem, stress management, and addiction concerns. She names additional focus areas such as codependency, communication problems, forgiveness, gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life concerns, isolation, jealousy, personality disorders, phobias, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship questions, self-harm, and self-love.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Clients can expect to leave with small, actionable steps to try between meetings and with tools to notice and change the thoughts and behaviors that keep them feeling stuck.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Jamie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing thoughts that contribute to distress, and on changing behaviors that maintain problems; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT teaches concrete coping skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with impulsive behaviors and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jamie will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques suit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust methods if something is not helpful. The process is practical and paced to the person rather than fixed to a single method.

Many people find virtual sessions help fit counseling into work and family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Talk with her about what will best fit everyday life and routine so sessions can be scheduled in a way that supports consistent progress.
