About Jaime

Jaime Barilla is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of clinical experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, family conflict, and trauma.

Background and approach

She meets clients where they are and emphasizes a warm, down-to-earth approach that supports people through life transitions, parenting challenges, relationship strain, grief, and issues related to self-esteem and anger.

Her practice draws on evidence-based methods to address concerns such as attachment and family of origin patterns, disruptions from adoption or foster care, autism spectrum considerations, and fertility or caregiver stress.

Barilla has provided both in-home and office-based counseling across a range of ages and needs, offering targeted support for child behavioral concerns, parent-child conflict, disruptive mood symptoms, and self-injurious behaviors. She also runs a company that delivers in-home services to high-risk children and families, bringing practical experience in real-world, family-centered care.

Using a client-centered stance, she collaborates with each person to set goals and apply techniques that fit their situation, drawing on cognitive behavioral strategies alongside dialectical and emotion-focused tools. Her demeanor is engaging, respectful, and focused on helping clients make meaningful, manageable changes.

Integrating practical therapies into online care

Jaime often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to help clients understand patterns of thought and behavior while honoring where they are in the moment. CBT offers structured tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life transitions. Client-centered work focuses on listening, empathy, and collaborative goal-setting so clients guide the pace and priorities of treatment.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness when those skills match a client’s needs. Choosing the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with the client to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and the specific challenges they bring to sessions.

Online therapy with Jaime is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats make it possible to maintain regular momentum between sessions, practice skills in real time, and access support from home or elsewhere in New Jersey. Licensed professionals can tailor assignments and exercises to each format so work continues effectively across different communication styles.
