Tiffany Riley , LCPC

Tiffany Riley is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana with 22 years of experience in the behavioral health field. She holds an undergraduate degree from the University of Montana and a Master of Science degree from the University of Great Falls, and she works with people across a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, ADHD, family and parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, grief, eating concerns, anger, bipolar disorder, and coping with major life changes. Her clients span a wide age range and diverse backgrounds, with experience supporting individuals from early childhood through later adulthood.

Tiffany centers her work on what each person chooses to bring to sessions, offering unconditional positive regard, sensitivity, and compassionate support. She treats people with dignity and respect and views therapy as a collaborative journey that requires effort and time. When clients feel heard and validated, they are more able to engage in the process and address the layers beneath presenting concerns. Tiffany likens many issues to layers of an onion - protective and complex - and she helps clients gradually peel those layers back to identify underlying causes of distress.

Her practice draws on established therapeutic approaches to tailor treatment to each person s needs, and she supports clients in building skills, insight, and resilience so they can move toward fuller, more satisfying lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Tiffany Riley

Tiffany Riley integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment in which clients lead the conversation and develop self-understanding - it is helpful for building self-esteem, exploring values, and improving relationships. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical coping skills. DBT combines acceptance and change strategies and emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tiffany works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns. She tailors treatment plans based on client feedback and adjusts techniques as progress is made.

Online therapy with Tiffany can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient settings, making it easier to maintain continuity of care and apply skills between sessions.
