Gaye Jones-Washington, LPC

Many people present as responsible, smart, trustworthy, educated, or even perfect and still feel crushed when a mistake happens. Gaye Jones-Washington understands how high expectations can turn a single misstep into deep worry, shame, or a sense of failure that affects family, work, and relationships.

She specializes in conflict resolution, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, anxiety, and depression, and creates a nonjudgmental space to evaluate patterns, identify obstacles, and discover practical ways to move forward. Gaye helps clients navigate life’s hills and valleys so they can face the next chapter with renewed energy and clearer direction.

Gaye employs Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build healthier coping skills for stress, strengthen relationships, regulate intense emotions, and address painful experiences. She blends evidence-based techniques with an empathetic, goal-focused approach to support each person’s unique needs. Gaye is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) - a credential indicating she is a licensed mental health professional trained to provide counseling and therapy.

She looks forward to meeting prospective clients and working collaboratively to identify goals, practice new skills, and promote more satisfying daily life and relationships.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Support

Gaye integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help people build concrete coping skills for stress, improve interpersonal effectiveness, and learn strategies for regulating intense emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical steps to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms by changing thoughts and behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration - supporting clients to clarify goals, boost self-esteem, and find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gaye works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapts methods over time so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. This variety allows therapists and clients to focus on progress through regular contact and practical skill-building regardless of location.
