Camelia Thomas, LCSW — Therapist in Montana

Hi there, I'm Camelia!

My commitment to you is to show up fully prepared and keep an open mind as I support you in finding your own path and writing your own story. I have experience helping clients process traumatic experiences and navigate family conflicts, parenting issues, depression, anxiety, and anger management.

My focus

In some capacity, I have always worked with kids (5-19), but I also have experience working with individuals, couples, and groups. I treat PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, DMDD, ODD, substance abuse, just to name a few.

My approach

I use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and a Client-Centered Approach to help you build skills and find solutions that work for your life. Rather than rushing to give advice, I guide you in discovering your own answers. There is power in you being an active participant in solving your own problems.

My communication style

I'm a good listener who never rushes into giving advice. I'd rather help guide you in finding your own answers. You are the expert in your life. I'm here to help you make choices when you're stuck, listen when you need validation and support, and be that voice of reason when you doubt yourself.

My journey to mental healthcare

My work is my passion, and it was no accident that I chose to do what I do. Connecting with people, advocating for those in need, and helping others have always been my strengths. This job is simply an opportunity to apply myself.

My goals for you

I will hold you accountable for the commitments you make to work towards your goals, but I will do so with empathy. I help you set goals that are SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. Together, we'll create a clear path forward that honors your unique needs and strengths.

Our first session

I like to use our first session together to get to know each other and gain more insight into what your goals are in therapy. We'll explore what brought you here and begin creating a plan that feels right for you. Taking this first step takes courage, and I'm proud of you for giving it a try.
