About Jaime

Background and approach

With three years of clinical experience, she focuses on trauma, depression, anxiety, parenting concerns, and relationship challenges, guiding people through practical steps toward clearer goals and improved coping. Jaime emphasizes straightforward communication while honoring each person’s experiences and limits, creating a therapeutic partnership that balances challenge and support.

Her style leans toward collaborative, goal-oriented work that helps clients build insight, resilience, and new skills. Jaime uses evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside other approaches to address symptoms such as panic, persistent worry, and post-traumatic stress.

Whether someone feels overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, she helps prioritize what matters, set realistic objectives, and take measurable steps forward with care and clarity.

Approaches for Change in an Online Setting

Jaime commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy when working with clients online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and panic by teaching practical coping skills and problem-solving techniques. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships and early bonds to help clarify how those dynamics affect current feelings and interactions, supporting efforts to improve communication and emotional connection.

Choosing the right approach often happens collaboratively. Jaime will work with clients to discuss their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, and together they will decide which methods or combination of techniques are best suited to the individual's needs. This helps ensure treatment aligns with personal priorities and progresses at a comfortable pace.

Online therapy offers flexibility through multiple remote formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. These options allow clients to access evidence-informed care from licensed professionals without travel, and they enable ongoing work on skills, insights, and action steps between live conversations.
