Background and approach

Sessions often include simple tools for managing intense feelings and breaking problems into steps that feel doable. Jaime draws on approaches like client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to tailor sessions to each person. She also uses mindfulness practices and solution-focused ideas to sharpen coping skills and support short-term goals.

For relationship concerns she integrates elements of the Gottman Method. People come to her for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, ADHD, addiction, depression, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, and caregiving stress. She also supports work on attachment wounds, abandonment, chronic illness, and navigating major life changes.

Jaime places importance on collaboration. She listens first, then together with the client decides what to try next. Her goal is to leave people with clear, usable steps they can take between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to change or improve. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms such as anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, which can ease stress and emotional overwhelm. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jaime will discuss what matters to the client, try methods that match their goals, and adjust plans based on what helps most. Clients collaborate with the therapist to pick exercises and strategies that fit their life and preferences. Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and use of visual tools. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts in writing and fit support around busy schedules. These options make it possible to get consistent help while balancing work, caregiving, or travel.
