She approaches care with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, adapting conversations and treatment plans to each person's specific needs.

She aims to meet clients where they are and offers collaborative, goal-oriented guidance to support meaningful change. Jaime holds MA LICSW 126523 and NY LCSW 091543 credentials and provides services through formats that fit modern life.

She emphasizes a supportive, individualized process for those ready to take the first step toward improved well-being.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related concerns and provides structured tools for problem solving and skill building. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills, which can be useful when managing intense emotions, impulsivity, or relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jaime will work together with each client to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting techniques over time so treatment remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy with Jaime is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with technology. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from New York without traveling, while still engaging in structured, skills-based work informed by CBT and DBT as appropriate.
