About Jaye

Jaye Bahre, LPC, has built a 15-year career in mental health with a long path to counseling. She began her professional life as a hairstylist, learned to listen closely to people, and later returned to school to pursue psychology and clinical work. Jaye now offers individual and couples work from a trauma-informed, client-centered perspective.

Her background includes work in forensic mental health, community health settings, and jail-based services across the Pacific Northwest. That experience exposed her to a wide range of life challenges and helped shape a practical approach to common concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, and stress.

In sessions she aims to be collaborative and down-to-earth. She uses mindfulness, skill teaching, journaling, and structured exercises to help people manage symptoms and try new ways of living. She describes her role as having the heart of a teacher - helping clients build skills to reach their goals.

Jaye also names relationship topics, intimacy, and LGBTQ concerns among her frequent areas of focus. She notes experience with addiction, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, attachment issues, and a range of communication and control problems.

Clients can expect practical tools and steady support while they work through changes. Jaye encourages people to bring their stories and goals so she can help them map realistic steps toward better self-esteem and day-to-day coping.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead to identify goals and next steps. It helps when people need a respectful, collaborative space to sort feelings and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. It can be helpful for strong emotions, relationship conflicts, and improving day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to choose or blend methods that match the client's goals and comfort level. That collaborative process can change over time as needs shift.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Specific session formats were not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that online sessions let them practice skills between meetings and use therapy in the rhythm of everyday life.
