Jamielyn 'Jamie' Yates, LPC

Jamielyn "Jamie" Yates is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, loneliness, low self-esteem, stress, and addiction concerns, offering goal-oriented strategies and compassionate support. Jamie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to help clients recognize unhelpful thoughts and patterns and build practical skills for managing emotions and behavior.

Her approach balances active skill teaching with a nonjudgmental listening style; clients have shared that they appreciate her attentive listening and accepting stance. Jamie believes that behaviors and thoughts that once helped a person get by can become obstacles to living a fulfilling life, and she focuses on identifying those patterns and replacing them with choices that support a life worth living. She emphasizes empowerment, helping clients develop tools to reduce suffering and improve daily functioning.

Jamie also addresses related concerns such as codependency, communication problems, forgiveness, gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, end-of-life issues, isolation, jealousy, life purpose, personality challenges, phobias, relationship structures such as polyamory, and self-harm and self-love work. As an LPC she combines evidence-based practices with a collaborative, client-centered style to support meaningful change.
