About Jaime
Jaime Askew is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 24 years of professional experience. She focuses on common struggles that come up in adulthood such as stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, trauma and depression. Jaime works with people who want steadier emotional footing and clearer next steps.
She prefers a straightforward, conversational approach. Sessions are a place to talk through feelings, patterns and choices. Jaime aims to reduce shame and help people see practical options when they feel stuck.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with adults facing life transitions. That experience informs how she helps people cope with grief, intimacy issues, sleep and eating concerns, and career stress. She also supports those navigating ADHD, compassion fatigue, and the emotional fallout of abuse or abandonment.
Jaime addresses relationship topics and family-related stresses from the perspective of the individual. She offers help with communication problems, codependency, blended family challenges, and divorce or separation adjustments. She also provides guidance for people exploring sexuality and kink-related concerns without judgment.
In sessions Jaime moves between practical problem-solving and talking through emotions. She helps clients set goals, try new behavior patterns, and track changes between meetings. To start, she invites a short conversation about what’s most pressing and what a better next step would look like.
Approaches Jaime Uses and How Online Work Fits
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques form the backbone of Jaime's sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful behavior patterns so people can try different ways of responding to stress, anxiety and relationship problems. Another approach concentrates on processing traumatic events and their emotional effects, helping clients reduce the hold past hurts have on present choices.Choosing a method is collaborative. Jaime will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is tracked over time.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time before or after meetings. These practical benefits help therapy become part of everyday life rather than a major disruption.
