About Gaye

Gaye Jones-Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arkansas with four years of clinical experience. She supports adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, anger, and life changes. Her work also covers self-esteem, career concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

She focuses on practical steps rather than labels. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Clients map out specific problems and try small changes between meetings to see what helps in daily life.

Gaye uses a mix of approaches, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy or DBT, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered methods. That lets her teach emotion regulation skills, challenge unhelpful thinking, and build clearer communication habits. She also draws on narrative techniques when people want to reframe their story.

Her work emphasizes handling conflict and improving relationships without blaming. She offers tools for managing anger and frustration so people can respond differently at home and work. She helps clients develop coping skills for stressful times and for transitions such as career shifts or grief.

Gaye practices in Arkansas and provides services in English. Her approach aims for steady, practical progress through concrete strategies and paced skill-building. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set goals.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Gaye draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills. DBT helps people manage intense feelings, handle conflict, and use practical coping tools during moments of anger or distress.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing alternative responses to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gaye will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals, preferences, and how challenges show up in daily life. That choice can change as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Ask about the specific ways she runs sessions so you can pick what fits your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists in general use a mix of skill practice, in-session role play, and between-session exercises that translate well to remote meetings.
