Expect a mix of talk work, skill practice, and interventions aimed at specific symptoms or patterns.
She notes a particular interest in issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, codependency, and forgiveness alongside parenting and family-of-origin concerns. Guilt and shame are listed among the problems she helps people face and talk through.
Her stated aim is collaborative, goal-focused work that builds insight and practical coping tools. The overall tone is straightforward and action-oriented while acknowledging the weight of painful experiences.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jaime often draws on attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral strategies in sessions. Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and communication. It can help people understand why certain situations feel triggering and teach new ways to relate. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thought patterns and reduce anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is treated as a joint decision. The therapist will discuss options with each person, check what feels manageable, and adjust methods based on goals and preferences. That collaborative steer helps align the techniques to what the client wants to work on and how they prefer to engage.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use skills practice between meetings. Jaime combines talk, skills coaching, and practical interventions in ways that aim to fit into a person's routine rather than add extra steps.
