Approaches used and how online sessions work

Jaime uses well-established, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage symptoms and change patterns. One approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms; it involves setting small, achievable goals and trying new behaviors between sessions. Another common method examines how relationship patterns form and repeat, helping people notice communication habits and experiment with different responses to conflict and closeness.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Jaime will discuss what feels useful, what has or hasn’t worked before, and adjust methods to match a person's goals and preferences. She aims to help clients find practical strategies that fit their household life and daily routines.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also let people try work between sessions and then discuss what did or did not work in their real-life context.
