About Jaime

Jaime Darda is a Licensed Certified Social Worker with Clinical Authorization, LCSW-C, practicing in Maryland. She has ten years of professional experience and sees people for a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and addiction.

Jaime helps people talk through relationship and intimacy-related issues, family and blended family concerns, and problems with eating or sleeping. She also works with career questions, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. Her approach is practical and focused on what clients want to change.

In sessions she uses a mix of client-centered conversation and evidence-informed techniques. That means listening to what matters most to the person in front of her, then introducing tools such as cognitive behavioral strategies or solution-focused steps when they fit the goal.

Jaime also draws on mindfulness practices to help reduce overwhelming thoughts and the Gottman Method for relationship communication skills when those topics come up. She explains ideas in simple language and practices exercises people can use between sessions.

People looking for help with blended household issues, communication problems, attachment questions, or coping after separation will find straightforward, goal-oriented work. To begin, Jaime asks prospective clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's concerns and priorities. The therapist listens closely and helps the person clarify goals, then works alongside them rather than directing every step. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change patterns and reduce distress. These methods are commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.

Jaime treats approach selection as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and suggest methods that fit those aims. Together they decide what to try and adjust the approach based on progress and feedback.

The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoid travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to use exercises between meetings and to work on communication skills from the place where everyday interactions happen.
