Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and supported while they figure out what they want to change or keep in their lives.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) provides concrete tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and managing mood symptoms when daily routines need adjustment.

The Gottman method brings practical skills for improving communication and managing conflict in close relationships. It can be useful when intimacy, trust, or recurring arguments are part of the problem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jaime will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts plans as progress and life circumstances change so the therapy fits the person, not the other way around.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work, quicker check-ins when a short session is helpful, and the ability to keep therapy going while managing life's transitions.
