Therapeutic approaches and remote care
Jaime commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches practical emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for managing strong feelings and conflict.She also uses narrative therapy to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves, which can change how they respond to challenges. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - Jaime will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than applying one fixed model.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for quick check-ins when life gets hectic. Jaime aims to tailor session length and focus so tools learned in sessions can be applied between appointments and fit into everyday routines.
