Background and approach

Conversations are straightforward and geared toward what matters most to each person. Her background includes three years of clinical experience supporting people through panic, post-traumatic stress, grief over abandonment, and struggles with codependency and communication. She also helps people manage caregiver strain, attachment issues, and isolation or loneliness.

Jaime uses a mix of approaches that match a person’s needs, including cognitive and mindfulness-based techniques, skills training, and therapies aimed at processing trauma. Sessions often combine practical coping skills with work on patterns that keep problems repeating. People who prefer direct feedback and clear, goal-focused work tend to fit well with Jaime’s style.

She describes therapy as a team effort and helps each person build insight and resilience. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online using a range of formats to suit different preferences.

How Jaime's Approaches Work Online

Jaime uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside mindfulness practices to address anxiety and trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity through structured recall and guided attention. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jaime collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level. She adjusts techniques over time based on progress and what the person finds most helpful so the plan fits real life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use facial cues and screen sharing for worksheets, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, and text or chat are useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and different life demands.
