She also supports those dealing with grief, parenting challenges, anger, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Gaye pays attention to everyday pressures and practical problems that make life feel overwhelming.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She creates a nonjudgmental space where people can talk through problems and try new ways of coping. Sessions focus on building skills that can be used between meetings and on small, achievable steps toward clearer thinking and calmer reactions.

She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support people who want to change habits or find more purpose.

Her background includes four years of clinical experience as an LPC in Arkansas. That experience has included helping people with life transitions and with issues linked to aging and geriatric concerns. Gaye works with individuals who are navigating changes in roles, health, caregiving, and life purpose that often come with aging.

People who choose her can expect practical tools, focused talking, and steady encouragement. She helps people notice what is working, try different coping strategies, and take steps toward clearer goals and better day-to-day balance.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead, helping them find their own solutions and build confidence in choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replaces them with more useful ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by practicing new skills between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive reactions; it includes techniques for coping with distress and for improving communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, current struggles, and personal preferences and will help determine which methods to use. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings during a lunch break or between errands. It can also let people use audio-only check-ins when video is not needed or when a shorter session suits the day. Ask about available formats when scheduling so sessions can match practical needs and daily routines.
