How Jaime’s approaches fit into online therapy

Jaime uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide much of her work. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. DBT focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and practical skills for handling strong feelings like anger.

She also draws on Narrative Therapy to help clients rewrite difficult personal stories and see events from different angles. That approach can be useful when past experiences or identity issues feel stuck and keep affecting day-to-day life.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Jaime will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time. The process is collaborative and paced to what the client needs.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find that remote sessions let them continue care through life changes while still working on coping skills and emotional regulation.
