About Gaye
Gaye Jones-Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arkansas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, parenting challenges, and life changes. She focuses on practical ways to handle relationship concerns, grief, work stress, and compassion fatigue. Her style is down-to-earth and direct, aimed at parents and adults who need clear tools and steady support.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She uses methods that teach concrete skills for emotion regulation and problem solving.
Background and approach
She encourages people to name what matters most and to try small, doable changes between meetings. Gaye draws on client-centered ideas to make sessions feel respectful and collaborative. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are offered when stronger emotion regulation or distress tolerance skills are needed. With four years of experience, she blends coaching and therapy to help clients move through blocks and toward clearer choices. Her work addresses a wide range of issues including parenting, career setbacks, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, eating concerns, and aging-related topics.
Gaye provides straightforward guidance with attention to each person’s values and strengths. She helps clients build routines that fit real life and supports them as they try new ways of responding to old problems.

Therapeutic options for online parent and adult care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and helping the person set their own goals. It is useful when someone needs space to clarify values and make choices without judgment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change thought and behavior patterns that keep problems active, and it works well for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress when life feels overwhelming.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they decide whether to focus on skill building, changing thought patterns, or improving emotional regulation and then adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy parents and adults. Video calls approximate an in-person session when face-to-face conversation matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief updates, coaching between sessions, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while keeping momentum between appointments.
