About Gaye
Gaye Jones-Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arkansas with four years of clinical practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, parenting, grief, and related everyday pressures that affect life at home.
She frames work as a practical collaboration. Sessions focus on identifying specific problems and trying concrete ways to change what isn’t working. Conversations move from describing the problem to testing new skills that can ease tension and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix is used to teach emotion regulation, coping skills for stress, and clearer communication steps that people can practice between sessions.
In sessions she helps people name patterns that cause repeated conflict or low mood. She uses simple tools to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and address parenting stress. When grief or life transitions arrive, she helps people sort priorities and find workable next steps.
Gaye also gives attention to issues like career strain, intimacy-related concerns, eating difficulties, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, and aging or visual impairment challenges. Her work aims to produce small, real changes someone can use at home and at work.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers discussion on the person’s experience and priorities, letting the client guide what matters most. It is useful for talking through relationship strain, parenting concerns, and self-esteem issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and stress that shows up in daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that help with anger, intense emotions, and difficult conversations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try techniques that fit those aims. That collaborative process may include experimenting with different skills until something feels useful.
The profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where most conflicts and stress happen, which can help with applying techniques between visits.
