About Jaime

Jaime Askew is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist with 24 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, trauma, and depression.

Background and approach

She draws on a long clinical background to support clients facing grief, intimacy challenges, ADHD-related concerns, and a broad range of life transitions, offering grounded guidance rooted in practical experience. Jaime aims to foster a nonjudgmental setting where clients can express difficult feelings and begin discovering new ways forward.

Her work emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, encouraging clients to build skills for coping with anger, self-esteem struggles, career change, and compassion fatigue. Jaime also addresses complex issues such as attachment and identity, body image, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress.

She welcomes conversations about when to pursue change and helps people take actionable steps toward more fulfilling daily life and relationships.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Jaime integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques into her online practice, focusing on methods that teach practical coping skills and emotional regulation. One common approach emphasizes skills-based interventions to reduce anxiety and manage stress, helping clients develop routines and tools for day-to-day functioning. Another approach concentrates on trauma-informed care that validates experiences while working progressively to lessen the impact of past hurt on current relationships and wellbeing.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to discuss goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting strategies over time so the plan remains aligned with what feels most helpful and achievable for the client.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options allow people to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work during transitions or travel, and maintain momentum between live visits. Jaime aims to make therapeutic work more attainable by matching effective methods with formats that suit individual lifestyles.
