How Jaime's Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following where the client wants to go. It emphasizes empathy and having the person set goals and pace, which helps when life feels chaotic.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches simple strategies to change unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety or depression.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It includes steady, practical tools like emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that people can practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jaime will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try approaches that seem likely to help. The process is collaborative and adjustments are made as progress and feedback come in.

Session formats are not detailed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or avoid needing to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals often find these practical benefits help clients maintain momentum while working toward their goals.
