About Jaye
Jaye Bahre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She came to counseling after years of listening to people in other jobs, and she brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Jaye focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, and other life stressors.
Jaye prefers a collaborative, client-centered approach. She combines mindfulness practices with skills teaching, journaling, and targeted exercises.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify what the client wants to change and then build small, manageable steps toward those goals. Her background includes work across forensic and community mental health settings in the Pacific Northwest. That experience shaped her ability to work with intense life events and long-standing patterns of distress.
She describes her role as part teacher and part partner in change, offering empathy and practical tools. Jaye also brings experience with LGBTQ issues, addiction concerns, bipolar disorder, and a range of relationship and communication problems. She pays attention to attachment and control issues, and she is familiar with alternative sexual cultures including BDSM and kink.
Outside of work she enjoys outdoor adventures with her wife, cooking, making art, and growing mushrooms. She aims to meet each person where they are, helping them build skills to manage symptoms and make meaningful shifts in daily life.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Jaye commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a trusting relationship so clients can find their own path forward. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that help manage intense emotions and reduce reactivity.She also uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when helpful, teaching practical skills to notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Together with the client she will decide which mix of approaches fits best, basing the choice on the client's goals, needs, and daily life. This is a shared process where adjustments are expected as therapy moves forward.
Online therapy with Jaye is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and preferences. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging works well for ongoing prompts or journaling between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while still doing focused, practical therapeutic work.
