Gaye Jones-Washington , LPC

Gaye Jones-Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, relationship strain, grief, and challenges around self-esteem. She also supports concerns related to parenting, career stress, intimacy, eating issues, ADHD, and women's issues.

Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills people can use between meetings. Conversations are direct but warm, aiming to reduce overwhelm and build confidence in daily life.

Gaye uses a mix of client-centered listening and evidence-informed methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and healthier coping.

Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of the toolbox too. Mindfulness helps slow down strong emotions. Motivational interviewing supports change by exploring what matters most to each person.

Gaye has four years of clinical experience and practices in Arkansas. She works with adults who want practical strategies for coping, clearer communication, and a stronger sense of purpose. New clients begin by filling a short questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits their life.

Her style is collaborative and solutions-focused, with attention to each person's values and pace. Sessions aim to build skills that make daily life easier, one step at a time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Gaye often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by focusing on thoughts, actions, and small changes.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships are strained.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and pace. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can fit into a busy day and support ongoing coaching between longer sessions.

These formats let licensed professionals provide consistent care without requiring travel, which can make it easier to stick with therapy over time.
