About Gaye

Gaye Jones-Washington is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Arkansas who helps people work through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, grief, and related life challenges.

Background and approach

She brings a practical, collaborative style to sessions, guiding clients to identify unhelpful patterns, build healthier coping skills, and pursue clearer goals for career, self-esteem, and intimacy-related concerns. Her work often focuses on resolving family and communication problems, addressing compassion fatigue and parenting tensions, and supporting clients living with ADHD or eating and anger-related struggles.

Gaye uses evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-based strategies to tailor a plan that fits each person’s needs. With four years of clinical experience, she emphasizes a nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore forgiveness, life purpose, aging and geriatric issues, and visual impairment–related concerns.

Gaye aims to help people move past restrictive patterns so they can engage more fully with relationships, work, and personal goals, while offering practical coaching and strategies along the way.

Approaches for Online Support and Practical Change



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into more adaptive patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns by teaching concrete skills and practiceable strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to reduce intense emotional reactions and improve relationships and coping under pressure. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic environment where the client’s own goals and insights drive the work, supporting self-directed growth and clearer decision making.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and this therapist collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will consider what techniques feel most useful and adapt the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it possible to access care from home or while balancing work and family demands. These modalities allow continued skill practice between sessions and make it easier to schedule consistent support that fits into a client's life.
