Jaime uses tools from client-centered therapy to follow each person's priorities. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change thinking patterns that cause distress. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas help people find calm and make immediate improvements.
People come to him for issues like depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and managing life changes. He also works with concerns such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood challenges, and problems around identity and gender. His practice addresses a wide range of practical life problems, including money stress and loneliness.
Sessions aim to build coping skills and clear next steps. Jaime helps people discover strengths they already have and use them to handle current challenges. The work is collaborative and focused on real change that fits each person's life.
Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s priorities at the center of each session. The therapist follows the person’s lead, asks questions to understand what matters most, and helps people make choices that fit their lives. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits that reduce anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jaime will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and try methods that match those needs. Decisions about which techniques to use are collaborative, and they may shift as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or limited local options. Video calls let conversations feel most like in-person sessions, while phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or daily practice between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules and to keep regular momentum on goals.
