She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem. Jaime also lists work with career concerns, parenting strain, sleep and eating struggles, and compassion fatigue.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to notice and test unhelpful thoughts.
For relationship stress she incorporates elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce repeating patterns. Mindfulness-based strategies are used when slowing down, grounding, or improving sleep and eating patterns is helpful. Solution-Focused techniques support clear, short-term steps when people need quick momentum.

How Jaime blends approaches for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's concerns and priorities. It means the therapist listens, reflects, and helps the client steer each session. This approach works well for people who want their goals and pace to guide the work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Jaime uses CBT techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments to test new ways of responding. This is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and managing mood swings.
The Gottman Method provides concrete communication tools for relationship stress. Techniques include turn-taking, de-escalation steps, and structured conversations to reduce repetitive conflict and improve closeness.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jaime will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can change over time as goals shift or new challenges appear.
