About Jaye
Jaye Bahre is an Oregon-based Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She describes her work as collaborative and client-centered, helping people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy challenges, and concerns related to identity and addiction. Jaye emphasizes practical skills and a supportive therapeutic relationship.
Jaye’s path to counseling began long before graduate school. She spent years as a hairstylist learning to listen and build trust, then moved into mental health work in 2005. Over the next decade she worked in forensic settings and community health before shifting into private practice to focus on individual and couple work.
Her approach blends client-centered methods with mindfulness, elements of cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior techniques, and Motivational Interviewing to help people find motivation for change. She often uses skills training, journaling, and focused exercises to build new habits and manage symptoms.
Jaye frames therapy as teaching and collaboration. She asks about what each person wants from life and then helps them learn steps toward those goals. This can include distress tolerance tools, mindfulness practice for symptom management, and communication skills for relationships.
She notes experience with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar, anger, attachment and communication problems, and topics connected to kink and alternative sex culture. Jaye also names work with LGBTQ issues and cancer-related stress among her interests. She brings an empathic, nonjudgmental style and invites people to tell their stories and set goals together.

How approaches like Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness work online
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change and build commitment one step at a time. It suits challenges like addiction, procrastination, and making health or relationship changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting a person’s own goals to create a safe space for growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on progress and comfort.
Confirm the specific session options before booking, since the original profile does not list formats. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or letting someone choose audio-only when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practice, and Motivational Interviewing techniques to remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings and track progress over time. -
