Jaime Grunfeld

Jaime Grunfeld is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people regain balance after stress, loss, or confusion. He brings 17 years of experience and speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Jaime works in New York and accepts international clients, offering a calm, steady presence for people who feel overwhelmed by emotions like anger, anxiety, or depression.

He uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices. That approach helps people understand where strong reactions come from and how past experiences shape current feelings. Jaime also uses solution-focused techniques to identify practical, immediate steps that reduce distress and build momentum toward goals.

Sessions aim to make strong emotions more manageable. Jaime helps people name what they are feeling, notice how it shows up in daily life, and try small changes that can make a difference. Conversations cover work stress, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, sexuality, and issues tied to identity or culture.

He pays attention to family of origin themes, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and problems that show up in intimacy or fatherhood. Jaime can assist with mood concerns including bipolar symptoms, sleep trouble, and compassion fatigue. The work balances exploring deeper causes with concrete coping steps.

Jaime invites people to start with a short intake to match goals and preferences. He helps set clear next steps so therapy fits into everyday life and leads toward steadier mood and clearer purpose.

How psychodynamic and solution-focused work translates online

Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns behind feelings and repeated reactions. Online sessions can give people time and continuity to notice those patterns, name past influences, and try new responses over weeks or months. This approach can help when anger, family of origin issues, or long-standing mood concerns keep reappearing.

Solution-focused therapy focuses on clear, short-term goals and practical steps. In online work this often means setting small experiments between sessions, checking what changes helped, and adjusting plans quickly. It can be useful for stress, career decisions, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which mix of deeper exploration and short-term problem solving fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration guides how sessions are shaped and what homework or coping strategies are tried.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up conversations between sessions when useful. It also lets people try different ways of working and quickly see whether the approach is helping them manage anger, improve sleep, or navigate relationship stresses.
