About Gaye

Gaye Jones-Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with grief, career questions, parenting strain, anger, ADHD, and intimacy-related concerns. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, focused on helping people get through hard moments and move toward clearer goals.

Gaye keeps sessions conversational and client-focused. She listens for the stories people tell about themselves and looks for ways to reframe unhelpful patterns.

Background and approach

She uses narrative ideas to help people separate themselves from difficult problems and see new possibilities. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to build emotion regulation and coping tools for stress and relationship problems.

Sessions aim to teach skills people can use between meetings. Gaye has four years of counseling experience and works with adults in Arkansas. She holds an LPC credential and offers a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through their struggles.

Her style is encouraging and practical, focused on small, achievable changes.

Online session options

How narrative and skills-based therapy translate to online sessions

Gaye often blends Narrative Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods. Narrative Therapy involves listening to the stories people tell about themselves and helping them re-author those stories to reduce blame and open new choices. Client-Centered work focuses on building a supportive conversation where the person leads the topics and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical exercises to change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try different methods to see what fits best. That means adjusting the mix of story work, skills practice, and mindfulness tools to match what helps most in everyday life.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skill demonstrations and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing coaching-style support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family, or mobility needs while keeping the focus on practical progress.
