How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's goals first. In practice this looks like the therapist following the client's lead and focusing on what the client wants to work on. It helps when priorities are unclear or when someone wants a collaborative, respectful way to set goals.Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing thinking and behavior patterns. It uses exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. CBT is often useful for stress, mood struggles, and relationship patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It teaches grounding, distress management, and ways to communicate more effectively in heated moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jaime will help clients figure out which methods fit their needs and goals. She combines practical skills, goal-setting, and discussion so people can try techniques and adjust as they go.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy schedule easier and allow shorter check-ins when time is tight. It can also reduce travel and let people meet with a licensed professional from a different part of the state. Jaime emphasizes making sessions that fit everyday life rather than asking for large schedule changes.
