About Jaye

Jaye Bahre is an Oregon Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, life changes, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Jaye also notes additional focus areas including attachment issues, communication problems, control issues, and work with alternative sex culture and kink-related concerns.

She began her mental health work after returning to school in 2003 and entered the field in 2005. Early roles included co-running groups for children and supporting men with serious mental illness in a locked facility. She spent many years in forensic mental health across the Pacific Northwest, including work with the Washington Department of Corrections and community health settings, before moving into private practice.

Jaye describes her style as client-centered and solution-centered, grounded in Mindfulness. She teaches practical skills, journaling, and exercises for distress tolerance and symptom management. Sessions emphasize collaboration so clients can set goals and practice new behaviors between meetings.

Her background includes experience with LGBTQ issues and work with people of color. She frames care from a trauma-informed standpoint and uses mindfulness to help people notice beliefs, manage distress, and try different responses to old problems.

Outside of clinical work she enjoys outdoor activities, art projects, and time with her wife and dog. Her approach combines practical skill teaching with conversations about values and goals.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, curiosity, and following the client's priorities. In practice this means sessions concentrate on what matters to the person and on collaborative problem solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down patterns into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, anger, and depressive symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with strong emotions and relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps. That way skills and strategies are matched to each person's needs and preferences.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a work break or appointments without travel time. They can also let people practice skills in day-to-day settings and use worksheets or journaling between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered work to remote formats while focusing on practical tools for anger, communication, and distress management.
