About Gaye
Gaye Jones-Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arkansas with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults who struggle with anger, stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, and life transitions. She also addresses grief, career concerns, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is practical and direct. Sessions focus on identifying what triggers strong reactions and on learning skills to respond differently. Gaye uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral work and DBT-style skills to help people notice thoughts, manage intense emotions, and try new behaviors.
She also draws on client-centered principles to keep the work collaborative. That means the person sets goals and Gaye helps test steps that fit everyday life. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness techniques are used when a client wants help building motivation or staying present during stress.
In therapy she talks through concrete strategies such as breathing and grounding skills, thought-challenging, and problem-solving around difficult conversations. She helps people practice those skills between sessions so progress can be noticed in daily life. Gaye pays attention to practical barriers and works with clients on realistic next steps.
Her stated emphases include conflict resolution, relationship issues, self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. People who want to manage anger without shaming themselves may find the straightforward, skills-focused style a useful match.
How her approaches fit with online work
Gaye uses cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments to change responses to anger and anxiety. DBT-style skills focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication, which can help in heated moments and ongoing relationship strain.She also uses client-centered principles so the client helps choose what to try. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which skills to prioritize based on needs, goals, and how easily the techniques fit into daily life.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a workday break, and let people practice skills in real-life routines. Discuss format options when scheduling so sessions match practical needs like camera use, session length, or timing.
