About Gaye
Gaye Jones-Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arkansas with four years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and low self-esteem. Her work also covers grief, parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, anger, career questions, and ADHD-related challenges.
She tends to work in a direct, practical way. Sessions focus on noticing thoughts and habits that get in the way. Then she and the client try alternative responses and skills that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside client-centered work and mindfulness. That means she combines skills training, focused thought work, and conversational reflection. Motivational interviewing and narrative techniques are also part of her toolkit when they fit a client's goals.
In sessions she helps people set clear, short-term goals and practices to try between meetings. She emphasizes concrete skills for managing emotions, communicating under stress, and handling life changes. Progress is tracked through small experiments and repeated skills practice.
Gaye also notes experience with aging and geriatric issues, visual impairment concerns, forgiveness work, and matters many women raise about life purpose. She works in English and practices in Arkansas. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site's matching and scheduling flow to set up a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Gaye uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot thoughts and behaviors that increase distress, then test small changes to see what helps. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, which can fit well into short, focused online meetings.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. DBT offers concrete skills people can practice between sessions to reduce intense emotional reactions. Client-Centered Therapy provides a conversational balance where the client’s experience guides which skills to try next.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She will help identify what seems most useful based on your goals, current challenges, and preferences. That decision can shift as progress is made, with an emphasis on trying skills and reviewing what works.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, caregiving, or mobility needs. It also lets people try brief check-ins, focused skills sessions, or standard-length appointments without commuting, depending on the formats offered.
