About Jaye
Jaye Bahre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She began her mental health career after returning to school and has worked across a range of settings in the Pacific Northwest. Jaye brings a down-to-earth, practical style and focuses on helping people make real changes in their day-to-day lives.
She draws on client-centered and mindfulness-based approaches. Sessions often include skill practice, journaling, and concrete exercises clients can use between meetings.
How Jaye works
Jaye frames therapy as collaborative work where the client's goals lead the way. Her background includes extensive work in forensic mental health and community settings. That experience shaped a calm, straightforward approach to anxiety, depression, trauma, and identity questions.
She also supports people navigating relationship and intimacy issues, addiction concerns, grief, and major life changes. Jaye emphasizes learning tools for symptom management and distress tolerance. Mindfulness is a core part of that work and is used to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors.
She also incorporates cognitive and behavioral strategies to address thinking and action patterns that maintain problems. Outside of practice she enjoys outdoor time with her wife and dog, foraging, kayaking, and creative projects. Jaye aims to help people build a life that fits their values and strengths through steady, practical steps.

Online support options
How Jaye’s approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience, with the therapist listening closely and following the client's lead to build goals and strategies. It helps when someone wants a supportive, collaborative space to figure things out.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and adds practical steps to change those patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and behaviors people want to shift by trying new ways of thinking and acting.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and simple practices to manage strong emotions and increase awareness of habits. It is often used alongside other techniques to improve distress tolerance and reduce reactivity.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will explore goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then try methods that match those needs. Adjustments can be made over time so the work stays relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility through multiple formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical skills.
