01About Jaye
Jaye Bahre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years in mental health work. She brings a practical, down-to-earth approach and aims to make therapy feel manageable. Jaye emphasizes collaboration and helps people shape goals that matter to them.
Jaye began her career journey long before entering counseling. Early life experiences led her back to school and into mental health work in 2005, with years spent in forensic and community settings across the Pacific Northwest.
Background and approach
Those roles gave her exposure to a wide range of concerns and client stories. Her counseling style is client-centered and grounded in mindfulness. Sessions often include skills practice, journaling, and simple exercises to manage distress and build new habits.
Jaye frames her role as part teacher and part guide, helping people learn tools they can use outside of sessions. She often works with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, LGBT issues, and addictions. Additional focuses include ADHD, bipolar, attachment concerns, communication problems, and sexual culture topics such as BDSM and kink.
Jaye aims to meet each person where they are and move forward at a pace that feels right. Outside of work she spends time with her wife and dog and enjoys hiking, kayaking, foraging, mushroom growing, and creative projects. That practical, engaged life informs how she supports people - hands-on, curious, and hopeful about change.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience without judgment. It prioritizes the client’s goals and choices and is useful when someone wants a supportive space to clarify values and next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Sessions often include practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking patterns and improve day-to-day functioning; this approach is commonly used for anxiety and depression.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships. Small, concrete skill sets are practiced in session and applied between meetings to reduce reactivity and increase stability.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jaye will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, pace, and preferences. That choice may shift over time as needs change and skills grow.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is well suited for deeper conversation and skills practice. Phone works when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief updates, skill coaching, or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different life demands.
