About Jaye
Jaye Bahre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years in clinical work. She moved from a long career as a hairstylist into mental health and built broad experience across community and forensic settings. Jaye now works in independent practice in Oregon, offering compassionate, practical support for people facing hard moments.
Jaye favors a client-centered style that keeps the person’s goals first. She uses mindfulness, skills teaching, and journaling to help people manage symptoms and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on concrete tools and step-by-step practice rather than jargon or one-size-fits-all solutions. Her background includes work in forensic mental health, community clinics, and jail settings, where she learned to stay calm in high-stress situations. That experience informs how she helps with stress, anxiety, trauma, and addiction.
Anger and relationship concerns are also areas she commonly helps people address. Jaye describes her role as having the heart of a teacher. She spends time finding out what a person wants from therapy and then shows practical ways to reach those goals.
This often means learning coping skills, improving communication, and building habits that support emotional balance. Outside of clinical work she enjoys outdoor activities with her wife, foraging, mushroom growing, and creative projects. She brings a warm, down-to-earth presence to sessions and works collaboratively to tailor approaches to each person’s life.
Clients can expect straightforward coaching on emotion regulation, communication, and coping with life changes. Jaye emphasizes starting where a person is and building skills at a comfortable pace.

How Jaye’s Approaches Work Online
Jaye often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on understanding each person’s concerns and working at their pace. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the therapist to tailor support around the client’s own goals.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT teaches skills to change unhelpful thinking and build different habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Jaye will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and then try techniques together to see what fits best. She adjusts methods over time based on what is helpful and what a person wants to work on.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work better when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging allow ongoing support and brief check-ins between sessions. These options provide flexibility so people can practice skills and stay connected in ways that match their daily routine.
