How Jaime's Approaches Work Online
Jaime uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of thinking and acting. CBT often focuses on small, practical exercises that can reduce anxiety and lift mood over time.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills are useful for managing strong emotions, impulsivity, and self-harm urges with step-by-step tools. Jaime may use narrative therapy to help people tell and reframe their life stories, which can shift how they see themselves and their choices.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Jaime will talk through goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges to decide which methods fit best. She adapts techniques as progress is made and checks in regularly about what is working.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is helpful for full sessions and face-to-face conversation, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging suit brief check-ins, skill practice, or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to access consistent support and fit sessions into busy schedules.
