About Jaye
Jaye Bahre is an Oregon Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and anger. Jaye also lists experience with addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD, LGBT issues, and other communication and control problems.
She arrived at counseling after years of listening to clients in other roles and then returning to school in 2003. Jaye began clinical work in 2005 and spent many years in forensic mental health across the Pacific Northwest before moving toward private practice. That background shaped her direct, practical approach to difficult problems.
Jaye’s style is client-centered with a solution focus and a grounding in Mindfulness. She mixes skills teaching, journaling, and concrete exercises into sessions. She says therapy is collaborative and prefers to work together on clear goals and practical steps people can try between meetings.
In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when useful, and uses the Gottman Method for relationship work. Her trauma-informed stance prioritizes distress tolerance and symptom management through Mindfulness practice. Jaye identifies as part of the LGBTQ community and notes experience across many mental health topics.
She aims to help people reduce reactivity, build manageable coping skills, and improve communication. People who want straightforward strategies for anger, relationship strain, or ongoing anxiety may find her approach fits their needs.
How Jaye’s approaches translate to online work
Jaye uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person’s goals so sessions follow what matters most to the client. CBT breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions into workable steps and is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger patterns. DBT provides practical skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance that help reduce reactivity and manage intense feelings.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Jaye will talk with each person about their needs and goals, and then suggest which tools to try first. She often combines methods so a session might include skills practice, a short exercise, and planning between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness practices and skills work in real-life settings between appointments. The practical aim is to help people build routines and tools that fit their everyday life rather than promise a particular outcome.
