How sessions work
How Jaime’s approaches translate to online work
Jaime uses client-centered techniques that focus on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of her. This means sessions often start with the client describing a specific problem, and Jaime reflects and helps shape a clear first step. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and introduces concrete exercises to test new ways of thinking. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and routines that affect parenting and relationships.Mindfulness therapy involves short practices to anchor attention and reduce reactivity during stressful moments. These practices are brief and designed to be used during a busy day or between parenting tasks. Jaime treats choosing the right mix of approaches as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit day-to-day life, and adjust based on what the client finds helpful.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats. Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy day, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and makes it easier to follow through on between-session exercises. Jaime frames sessions around what can be managed in everyday routines, such as short mindfulness practices, behavioral experiments, or focused problem-solving for parenting and communication issues.
