How Jaime’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and priorities. It means conversations are guided by what the client wants to change, with the therapist reflecting and clarifying to help the client find direction. This approach suits people who want a collaborative, respectful space to sort through their concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Jaime uses simple tools from CBT to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors that lead to better moods and functioning. This method often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jaime will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She tailors methods so the plan fits the client rather than forcing a single technique.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also lets people use shorter check-ins when needed, try exercises between sessions, and continue steady work through life changes. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like CBT and client-centered conversation to online settings to keep progress moving.
