Background and approach

She also draws on client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on the client's priorities. Mindfulness techniques are used to help calm the body and reduce worry in the moment. In sessions Jaime works collaboratively to build goals that fit daily life.

She breaks skills down into small steps and checks in regularly about what helps. Conversations tend to be direct, with concrete strategies and follow-up between meetings when useful. Her background includes eight years as a clinical therapist providing services in crisis settings, alongside broader work in the mental health field.

That experience shaped her ability to respond calmly when emotions run high and to help people stabilize during difficult times. People come to Jaime for a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationships, parenting strains, grief, trauma, addiction issues, and major life changes. She tailors approaches to each person rather than using a single method for everyone.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jaime commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered techniques during online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and shift patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel anxiety or low mood. Client-centered therapy focuses sessions around the person's priorities, offering empathy and support while the client guides what to address.

Mindfulness practices are also used to help ground attention and ease intense feelings. Simple breathing and grounding exercises are taught and practiced in session to calm the body and reduce immediate distress.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Jaime discusses options and tailors the plan based on a person's goals, needs, and preferences. Together they test techniques and adjust direction over time until the right mix is found.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates or ongoing skill practice between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care from different locations.
