How Jaime’s approaches translate to online support

Jaime commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused techniques to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and take small steps toward change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and replacing them with more helpful habits. Solution-focused work centers on brief, goal-oriented conversations that build on what’s already working. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people clarify their goals and find their own reasons to make changes. That approach uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation and plan doable steps. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jaime will work with each person to choose or adapt methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays practical and relevant. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and support regular check-ins when life is hectic. Different formats can also allow for shorter or more frequent touchpoints, which can help maintain momentum between sessions.
