Dr. Jaimee Hartman

Dr. Jaimee Hartman uses a client-centered approach to guide conversations about anger, stress, and relationships. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist - LMFT - practicing in California. Her tone is direct and respectful, and she aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable for people who are worried or unsure.

She has 14 years of clinical experience working with common concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. The therapist listens, helps people name patterns, and works with them to try different ways of responding when emotions run high.

Dr. Hartman also supports people dealing with parenting strain, intimacy-related issues, and relationship conflict. She offers focused guidance for communication problems and for those facing aging or geriatric concerns. Her practice includes work related to first responder stress and hospice or end-of-life counseling.

Dr. Hartman combines client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, using straightforward strategies to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She adapts the pace and focus based on each person's goals and comfort. She says taking the first step takes courage and will help clients set realistic next steps.

Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. Conversations are tailored to each person rather than following a fixed script. People who want clear, honest feedback and tools for managing strong emotions will find a direct, collaborative style in her sessions.

How client-centered and CBT approaches work online

Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. Online sessions using this approach typically begin with open conversation so the therapist can understand what matters most. It helps people feel heard and decide on priorities such as reducing anger or improving communication.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. In sessions, the therapist helps identify unhelpful thoughts and practices small behavior changes to test new ways of coping with stress, anxiety, or anger.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit the person's situation and preferences. If a strategy does not help, she will adjust the plan together with the client.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online therapy can make it easier to check in during a lunch break or follow up after a difficult day. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current online options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled and delivered.
