I'm Jamie Skyta, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-I). With 22 years of experience helping people and nine years as a professional counselor, I bring clinical expertise, practical strategies, and a relational approach to counseling. I specialize in helping women navigate trauma, anxiety, and major life transitions, using evidence-based methods to support meaningful, lasting change.

Counseling That Integrates Faith and Clinical Care

My work is deeply shaped by my Christian faith and the belief that our emotional, mental, and spiritual lives are interconnected. I believe God's Word offers enduring truth, wisdom, and hope in the midst of life's struggles. For Christian clients, Scripture can be an important part of the counseling process, providing a foundation for understanding suffering, navigating challenges, and pursuing growth. My goal is to integrate biblical truth with sound clinical care in a way that honors God and supports your well-being.

I also recognize that not everyone shares my faith. I welcome clients from different backgrounds and provide respectful, evidence-based care that honors their beliefs and values. Faith integration is available for those who desire it, while clinical treatment remains grounded in each client's individual needs and goals.

A Relational, Practical Approach to Healing

Counseling doesn't have to feel intimidating or overly clinical. I believe meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and respected. My approach is collaborative and practical, combining evidence-based methods with a genuine interest in understanding your experiences, identifying patterns that may be holding you back, and developing tools to help you move forward.

Healing isn't always easy, but it doesn't have to be serious every minute. I believe appropriate humor can offer relief, create connection, and remind us that even in difficult seasons, there is still room for laughter. My role is to offer professional guidance and support as we work together toward greater clarity, resilience, and lasting change.

A Personal Understanding of Life's Transitions

My own experiences have shaped the way I approach counseling. During my husband's more than 20 years of military service, I navigated multiple career transitions and frequent relocations. Those years taught me flexibility, patience, and how to rebuild when life changes unexpectedly. They also gave me opportunities to connect with people from many different backgrounds and helped lead me toward becoming a professional counselor.

I understand that even changes we choose can bring uncertainty, loss, and unexpected challenges. Whether you're adjusting to a new season of life, working through painful experiences, or trying to find your footing again, you deserve a place where you can be honest about your struggles and work toward a way forward.

What You Can Expect at Light & Grace Counseling

My goal is to provide a safe, respectful space where you can explore your concerns, build on your strengths, and take practical steps toward change. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I draw on clinical training and experience to tailor our work to your needs. For those who desire it, biblical truth and Christian faith can also be an integral part of that process.

You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. Together, we can work toward greater understanding, emotional stability, and a renewed sense of hope and purpose.

A Little More About Me

Outside of counseling, family, faith, and laughter bring me the greatest joy. I love being outdoors, traveling, biking, paddle boarding, and reading a good book in the sunshine. And I never pass up an opportunity to spend time with dogs!

Let's Connect

Taking the first step toward counseling can feel intimidating, especially when you're already carrying a lot. You don't have to have all the answers or know exactly where to begin. If you're looking for a counselor who combines professional expertise, practical support, and Christian faith when desired, I'd welcome the opportunity to connect with you.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can discuss what you're looking for, answer your questions, and explore whether working together would be a good fit. There's no pressure or obligation—just an opportunity to take the first step toward meaningful change.
