About Jaime
Jaime Barilla is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in New Jersey with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common household stresses including anxiety, depression, parenting pressures, grief, and family conflict. Jaime helps adults talk through the day-to-day strain of raising children, strained relationships at home, and major life transitions.
She has provided in-home and office-based counseling to a wide range of people over her career. That work has included support for child behavioral concerns, parent-child conflict, and stress tied to infertility or major life changes. She also has experience addressing trauma, self-injurious behavior, and mood-related concerns.
Jaime uses a person-centered approach that lets the client lead the focus of sessions. She draws on evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior strategies, and motivational interviewing to address specific problems. Sessions emphasize practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication at home.
Her background includes running a company that delivers in-home counseling services to high-risk children and families, and supervising clinicians who work in those settings. That operational experience informs a practical, problem-solving style in her individual work.
When someone reaches out, Jaime starts by identifying clear goals together. From there she blends conversational, skills-based work with strategies aimed at reducing symptoms and improving daily routines. She expects clients to be active collaborators in setting priorities and trying new approaches between sessions.
How sessions work
How Jaime’s therapeutic approaches work in remote care
Jaime commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques when she works with adults dealing with family stress. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and letting the client lead the session. It helps when someone needs a space to sort out what matters most and set clear goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress management.She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills can help reduce heated reactions and improve how someone handles conflict with a partner, parent, or child. Jaime approaches treatment collaboratively and will work with each person to figure out which methods make the most sense for their situation and goals.
The therapist’s background includes in-home and office work, but the current profile does not list specific remote session formats. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know whether video, phone, or another option is offered. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit short check-ins into busy days, avoid travel time, and use skill-building exercises between meetings. Jaime will help tailor the pace and focus so sessions match everyday life and responsibilities.
