How Jaime’s approaches fit in online therapy

Jaime commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and actions, which can ease anxiety and low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for intense feelings and relationship stress.

She also uses narrative therapy to help people reframe difficult stories from their past. That approach can reduce shame and highlight strengths by looking at life events from new angles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jaime works collaboratively to decide which methods match a person’s needs and goals. She checks in and adjusts plans as progress happens so therapy stays practical and relevant.
