About Jaime

Jaime Darda brings a decade of clinical experience to her practice, combining medical training and social work expertise as an MD and LCSW-C.

Background and approach

She draws on ten years working with people facing anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, and a wide range of relationship and life-change concerns. Her background also includes attention to attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and other complex co-occurring challenges.

Her style emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore feelings and experiment with new strategies. Jaime uses evidence-informed tools to help clients address immediate problems and build longer-term coping skills; she often blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused interventions.

In sessions she aims to empower people to set achievable goals and to discover practical steps toward greater balance and well-being. Jaime practices in Maryland and offers services in English, including options for international clients when appropriate.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Jaime commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy into her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and mood regulation. Mindfulness therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, helping people reduce reactivity to stress and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jaime works with clients to determine which methods fit their needs and goals. She takes a collaborative stance, inviting clients to try techniques, provide feedback, and adjust strategies over time so the work aligns with preferences and life circumstances.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible and accessible. These formats allow scheduling around work or family demands, support steady progress between in-person commitments, and provide multiple ways to communicate depending on comfort and situation. Licensed professionals can adapt these modalities to deliver the same therapeutic skills and practical tools used in traditional session settings.
