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 earned her undergraduate degree at the University of Montana and completed a Master of Science at the University of Great Falls. Over her career she has worked with clients across the lifespan, from early childhood through older adulthood, addressing concerns such as trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating issues, grief, bipolar disorder, and relationship and family challenges.

Her work is grounded in a client-centered stance that honors each person’s choices about what to bring to sessions. She offers consistent respect, unconditional positive regard, and compassionate responsiveness, helping people feel heard and validated so they can engage in the sometimes challenging work of change. Tiffany frames therapy as a gradual process with many layers - protective patterns and defenses that are explored over time to reveal underlying concerns.

Clinically she integrates evidence-based strategies to support coping with life changes, manage stress and anger, improve self-esteem, and strengthen parenting and interpersonal skills. She seeks to partner with clients who are ready to begin that journey, walking alongside them as they peel back layers and move toward greater wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and priorities, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that helps individuals explore what matters most to them and build on their strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tiffany Riley collaborates with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, combining elements from different approaches when that alignment will support progress. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in treatment choices and adjustments over time.
