About Gaye
Gaye Jones-Washington is an LPC who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, grief, and life changes. She focuses on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and regain a sense of direction. Her work is aimed at people dealing with depression, compassion fatigue, parenting challenges, career questions, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD.
Sessions are offered in a straightforward, nonjudgmental way. She listens first, then works with each person to set realistic goals. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit to help people find their own reasons to change.
She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to make space for each person's experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are used when helpful to teach coping skills and to manage emotions. Mindfulness approaches are added to build present-moment awareness and stress relief.
Gaye brings four years of professional experience and holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor. She practices in Arkansas and conducts work in English. She does not accept international clients.
Her approach blends listening, skill-building, and short-term coaching to tackle concrete problems like communication breakdowns, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, and aging or geriatric questions. People who want clear steps and practical tools may find this style useful.

Approaches you can use in online sessions
Gaye combines Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping a person find their own reasons to change and can be useful for goals like improving mood, changing habits, or addressing motivation. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathic listening and respect, giving people space to tell their story and make decisions at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety and depression.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences, and then try methods that fit. That collaboration makes it easier to adjust strategies if something is not helping.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It can also make sessions simpler when a quieter setting or less bandwidth is preferred. Licensed professionals can adapt the approaches above to work through stress, relationship concerns, grief, and skill-building in an online setting. -
