Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jaime uses evidence-informed approaches to guide online work in ways that suit individual needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering concrete tools for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges. Narrative Therapy helps people examine and reframe the stories they tell about themselves, separating identity from problems and opening space for new perspectives and meaning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Jaime collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as therapy unfolds so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - make therapy more flexible and accessible. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to meet clients where they are, accommodate varied schedules, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not feasible.
