Online support

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Jaime commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address immediate problems and build coping skills. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, panic, low mood, and motivation. DBT offers concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills to manage intense feelings and impulsive behaviors.

She also uses narrative therapy to help people reframe difficult experiences and notice alternative stories about themselves. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jaime will collaborate with each person to test strategies, check what helps, and adjust plans based on needs, goals, and preferences.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video lets you work face to face when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can use less bandwidth and work well for a shorter check-in. Chat and messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day or to keep a running conversation between sessions. These options provide flexibility so therapy can fit into real life.
