Tiffany Riley , LCPC

Tiffany Riley is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana who brings decades of experience in behavioral health to her therapy work. She holds an undergraduate degree from the University of Montana and a Master of Science from the University of Great Falls, and she has supported people through many common and complex challenges across the lifespan. Over the course of her career she has worked with concerns such as trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, ADHD, family and parenting difficulties, relationship struggles, grief, eating concerns, anger, bipolar disorder, and other life transitions. Her caseload has included people as young as two and adults up to age 70 from diverse backgrounds.

Tiffany’s style centers on what each person chooses to bring to session; she offers a respectful, nonjudgmental stance characterized by unconditional positive regard, genuine concern, sensitivity, and compassion. She views therapy as a journey that takes time and effort and believes progress grows when people feel heard, validated, and supported. Tiffany often helps clients explore the multiple layers that protect difficult feelings and patterns - likening the work to peeling back layers to reach underlying issues causing distress - and collaborates with them to identify goals and steps forward.

Those ready to begin a therapeutic process will find Tiffany prepared to walk alongside them as they work toward greater wellbeing and more satisfying relationships.

How Tiffany’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Tiffany draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and respect so clients can steer sessions toward what matters most to them. This approach helps people build self-awareness, strengthen self-esteem, and improve relationships by creating a supportive therapeutic stance.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers practical strategies and skill-building that can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and support coping during life changes.

When intense emotions or patterns of reactivity arise, Tiffany may incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These techniques are useful for managing strong feelings and improving day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right fit is part of the work; Tiffany collaborates with each person to select and adapt approaches based on their needs, goals, and preferences so therapy feels practical and relevant.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or elsewhere. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity of care across busy lives, and give clients multiple ways to engage with therapeutic work depending on comfort and circumstance.
