Background and approach

Jaime often addresses identity-related concerns including LGBT issues and gender dysphoria alongside emotional struggles like low self-esteem and depression. Her approach includes methods that focus on thoughts and behaviors, emotion regulation, and personal stories. Jaime adapts the work to each person's needs and pace rather than following a single formula.

Sessions are meant to fit the client, not the other way around. With eight years of experience in New York settings, she has supported people through trauma, relationship strain, parenting stress, and life transitions. Jaime also brings attention to multicultural and adoption or foster care concerns when relevant to someone’s situation.

People who meet with her can expect straightforward planning, practice of new skills between sessions, and regular check-ins on what is or isn’t working. Jaime encourages small, manageable steps toward feeling more capable and in control.

Approaches that translate well to online care

CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people learn practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and change unhelpful thinking patterns. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help with intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps reframe those stories to support recovery from trauma, shame, or low self-worth.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Jaime will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is made. The plan can mix elements from different approaches to match what a person needs most.

Online therapy offers practical benefits like flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls let people work face to face when convenient, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good shorter check-in, and live chat or text-based messaging support brief check-ins, coping reminders, or follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
